Drachensitz und Ägydiuskapelle

Open
This partially rather demanding circular route - mainly through shady forests - leads over the shrine promenade to the dragon's seat and back over a somewhat steep climb past the Ägydius Chapel.
A very varied path that offers a lot, from traces of a dragon to St. Ägydius, the Fischbach parish patron.

We start our tour at the village square in Fischbach. From here we walk past the church towards the elementary school. There we cross the street to the cemetery and turn right into the Roseggersiedlung. Here we walk slightly uphill for a short time until we turn left following the yellow markings onto path no. 2. A shady forest path with fragrant conifers leads us to the “Faschingbauer Kreuz” wayside shrine and then on to the dragon seat. The tracks of a dragon and a beautiful view of Eastern Styria await us there. Here we enjoy the view on the rest benches before we continue to the right after a short, very steep connecting path to hiking trail no. 3. After a few hairpin bends we come to the state road, where we keep left and after about 50 m turn right onto path no. 6 towards Oberdissau. On the so-called Ägydiweg/Schafbrand (path no. 6) we hike back to the starting point at the Ägydius Chapel along a steep forest path.
Fischbach also offers many places to stop for refreshments and a great swimming pond with a mini golf course.
There are enough parking spaces at our hiking starting point - the village square in Fischbach.
