Drachenhöhle Mixnitz
Highlight • Cave
The Röthlstein rises above the cave, there is a beautiful view of the Murtal and numerous stone blocks line the path. Please don't make any noise here either, otherwise they will be gone before you see them. Another tip... in spring beautiful snowdrops bloom in the area around the cave.

Rote Wand Summit
Highlight • Summit
Although the red wall can also be climbed, it is also accessible without any climbing skills.
Variant 1: Starting point at the "Rote Wand" car park near Tyrnau
From Frohnleiten in the direction of Tyrnau along the Tyrnauerstraße you come to the Draxlergrabenweg junction. The car park is already signposted from Tyrnauerstraße. Well-marked hiking trails lead through forests to the summit cross of the red wall (approx. 5 km).
Variant 2: Starting point Teichalm
Parking at the ski lift on the Teichalm. After a flat, pleasant start along the Mixnitzbach, a short climb takes you to the Tyrnaueralm. The hut is staffed from the beginning of May to the end of October (almerich.at). From there you already have a beautiful view of the Rote Wand. Over an alpine pasture and then through the forest you reach the summit cross. (Approx. 7 km)
A combination of the two routes into a round trip is also recommended as a full-day tour. For example, start at the "Rote Wand" car park and then to the summit, continue via the Tyrnaueralm to the Teichalm. There, a lap around the lake and stop at the Latschenhütte on the occasion. Then back to the "Rote Wand" car park (approx. 25 km).
