Alpine Club in action
After three years: Liesersteig is completely renovated!
The Liesersteig was closed for three years after a rockfall between Seeboden and Spittal. The day after tomorrow, Thursday, the path - now an alpine trail - will be reopened.
For weeks, three specialists from the Großkirchheim-Heiligenblut Alpine Club have been renovating the approximately 1.7-kilometre-long Liesersteig trail - on behalf of the Spittal Alpine Club and the municipalities of Spittal and Seeboden. An easy task for Johannes Bernhardt, Christoph Wallner and Ernst Rieger, as they are usually busy building paths in the high mountains.
Resting on wooden benches
In addition to the clearing work, new rope safety devices had to be anchored in the rock, paths had to be dug and destroyed bridges had to be replaced with iron ramps. Three wooden benches were also built for resting. "We are currently still in the process of installing a twelve-metre-long wooden bridge," says Johannes Bernhardt: "I'm sure everything will be ready for the opening."
A head for heights is necessary
The Liesersteig trail runs 50 meters above the Lieser river and used to be a popular family hiking trail. However, it was not financially feasible for the two municipalities to renovate it in such a way that it could once again be used by baby carriages and dogs. Bernhardt: "The Liesersteig is now a red hiking trail. Walking on it requires surefootedness and a head for heights."
It should take around 45 minutes to walk from Seeboden to the town of Spittal. "The opening will take place the day after tomorrow, Thursday, at 11 a.m. directly at the entrance to the Liesersteig in Spittal," says Ernst Rieger from the Alpine Club.
