Tips
The observation tower on the Hirschenkogel is a striking highlight, located right next to the cable car mountain station. From the platform, you can enjoy a 360-degree panoramic view of the Semmering region, the Rax, the Schneeberg, and far into Styria. Especially in clear weather, the climb is worthwhile to enjoy the impressive views and experience the surrounding mountains from a new perspective.
