Route to the Stolzalpe summit (1,817m)

From the starting point at WM-Halle Murau (a world championship venue), we walk approx. 100m west to the pedestrian lights, where we cross the state road. Past the entrance road to Billa supermarket, we turn right. After approx. 50m, we follow the 938 signposts uphill towards Stolzalpe. In the section from 1,060m up to the church (1,204m), we have to walk along the road a couple of times until we come to the beautifully designed steps to the state hospital/Haus II (1,296m). The trail then takes a gravel road to the Fernerhütte (not serviced, 1,445m). In this area, the marked hiking trail is also designated as the Steirischer Landesrundwanderweg (Styrian State Circular Hiking Trail) and long-distance hiking trail 909. From the Fernerhütte, we alternate between footpath and logging road several times. The final short, steep section takes us to the 1,810m high Franz-Kerda Hütte with chapel and summit register. However, we still haven't reached the actual summit: two small ascents come first, taking approx. 5 minutes (1,817m). Return via the route you ascended.
