Location plan
From Stübing railway station follow the Mur river downstream along the Graz-Umland-Weg d (regional route GUWd) until you reach the entrance of the Open-Air Museum with a shop and café. This is where our trip of discovery starts: along the entire way to the valley head we find all kinds of traditional Austrian houses on the left and right sides of the path, from the Berglerhaus of Burgenland to the mountain chalet of the Bregenz Forest. In the westernmost part of the museum near the large alpine dairy “in the Bregenz Forest” we leave the grounds of the Open-Air Museum through a turnstile and continue the hike on trail no. 11 in the direction of Enzenbach hospital. Here the asphalt road leads up at the left to the Hörgasbauer tavern, also called Mostschänke Movia. Reinvigorated by award-winning farmer’s bread, march back via Route 562 to Kleinstübing station, the starting point.
