The scramble up to the Kreuzkogl is worth it. From here you have a wonderful panoramic view of the Murtal and the Graz mountains with Roter Wand, Hochlantsch, Gschwendtberg, Trötsch and Schöckl.

Short trail to the Kreuzkogel

Highlight • Climb

On the steep path up to the Kreuzkogel, a few steel cables will help you to climb safely over the rocks. Pure hiking fun with a rewarding view.
