Challenging loop with a long climb at the start to the eponymous Steingrabenkreuz and back over undulating terrain on forest roads including a few single trails.
From the starting point, the route first takes you via Bockhörner on a long, constantly steep climb through the forest to Steingrabenkreuz. Continue in the direction of the stalactite cave in the Schönwald forest. After the highest point, the route descends on forest roads - initially steeper, later undulating - and with one or two singletrail delicacies via Raneck back to Lackenhof.
High-alpine terrain!
1. Please avoid the trails during nighttime and twilight hours (when the animals are foraging).

3. Be considerate of the flora and fauna, and treat the people working here, nature, and the animals with respect.
4. Pay attention to general warning signs (e.g., “Restricted Area” signs). Observe fences and close gates behind you.
