The 17.2 kilometres long walking route starts from the station Semmering, and continuous to the district of Spital a. Semmering and comes to the end at the “Kulturbahnhof Mürzzuschlag”. To create the walking tour exciting you can meet the Styrian writer Peter Rosegger and other important contemporaries, for example Carl Ghega and Archduke John.
