The "Bärenschützklamm" - Bärenschütz gorge

There are several ways to hike the Bärenschützklamm:

• through the Bärenschützklamm gorge to "The Good Hirten" and the Prügelweg back down to the Mixnitz car park (approx. 4 - 5 hours)
   
• Bärenschützklamm to the Teichalm: up the Bärenschützklam to "Zum Guten Hirten" and along the Mixnitzbach to the Teichalm, the same way back to the "Guten Hirten" and then the Prügelweg back to the Mixnitz car park. Pick-up from the Teichalm or by taxi back to Mixnitz. (approx. 4 hours one way, without return)
   
• Through the Bärenschützklamm to Breitenau: Through the gorge to the "Steirischer Jokl" (or up to the Hochlantsch summit) and then the descent down to Breitenau (approx. 4.5 hours)
   
• Up to Schüsserlbrunn: through the gorge, up to Schüsserlbrunn, back "to the good shepherd" and via the Prügelweg back to the Mixnitz car park (approx. 6 hours)
   
• Bärenschützklamm incl. Hochlantsch & Teichalm: through the gorge, further up to Schüsserlbrunn and the Hochlantsch summit. Down to the Teichalm, along the Mixnitzbach back to the "Good Hirten" and the Prügelweg back to Mixnitz. (about 9 hours)

Attention: through the Bärenschützklamm there is a "one-way system". Return is made on the so-called "Prügelweg".

Through the Bärenschützklamm gorge, you climb over 109 bridges and 51 wooden ladders to the rest stop at "The Good Hirten". Here you can turn around for the first time and go back along the "Prügelweg". However, you can extend the hike, for example to the panoramic "Steirischer Jokl" and to the wooden pilgrimage church "Maria Schüsserlbrunn", which picturesquely clings to the rock.

Further up to the Hochlantsch summit. At 1,720 m, the Hochlantsch is the highest point in the Graz mountains. It goes down to the lovely Teichalm with the lake and the high moor. The way back leads along the Mixnitzbach back to Mixnitz - or you can be picked up by bus or taxi at the Teichalm.
