The tour
The Kasweg trail connects two very special alpine pastures. While much (not everything, because there is so much more) revolves around the white gold of the mountains on the Schrabachalm, the big star on the Planneralm is the mountain pine. On this tour, your sense of taste and smell will be equally pleased - promised!

Turn-by-turn directions
Starting from the Schrabachhütte, the trail crosses the road and then runs over hill and dale, meadows and moss on a pleasant incline up to the Planneralm. Information boards along the way provide insight into alpine life and explain why the Steirerkas tastes the way it does and why the cows are particularly happy up here.
Everything is homemade! Of course it is also possible to taste these alpine specialties. At a cozy stop in the Schrabachhütte, the choice is often not easy. Therefore the tip - just try everything or simply take it home ;-)
Nose free! And that works best on the Planneralm. Because in the highest situated Styrian mountain village, the precious mountain pine oil is produced according to time-honored tradition (how could it be otherwise). A true pleasure for humans and nose! To smell by the way in the mountain pine distillery.

Equipment
Shoes with a light profile
- Let others know where you are going.
- Turn back in good time if the weather deteriorates. If you get caught in a thunderstorm, stay away from individual trees. Wait out the storm, if possible in a crouching position.
- Stay on marked trails and remember to close pasture fences.In case of emergency, keep calm and call the mountain rescue on 140. If you have no reception, take out the sim card and dial 112.
- If you encounter cows: It is best to pass above the herd with at least 50 meters distance. Stay calm, don't make any frantic movements and don't run away. Do not imitate cow sounds and do not try to pet the animals. A stick and loud shouting can often make the animals turn back in an emergency.
- If you are a dog owner: Clarify before the hike if you have to cross a pasture. Keep your dog on a leash and make sure he stays calm. If a cow attacks, let the dog off the leash immediately. Never pick him up to defend him.
Author’s recommendation
Don't be surprised, just be amazed! During this hike, every now and then a little pig or a "Goaß" runs across your path.
