The tour leads through an area where mountain bikers are not welcome. There are traffic signs stating "Cycling not allowed" under "No Entry" and cow fences that can only be crossed one person at a time. This tour is completely unsuitable for cyclists in general.

Be careful: If you want to continue on to the Bernstein Hut, the markings are unclear! The yellow ÖAV sign points to the right, onto a meadow path, but you're tempted to continue along the forest road (also on the right). The path across the meadow on the far right is the correct one!

The wall has been damming the water of the Teigitsch since 1950. At almost 60 meters, the dam is the highest dam wall in Styria. A footbridge leads pedestrians along the wall. In 2021 the new path for pedestrians was inaugurated.
