The small St. Hubertus Chapel is picturesquely situated on the edge of the forest above St. Michael am Bruckbach and is dedicated to St. Hubertus, the patron saint of hunters. It is a quiet place of contemplation with a special atmosphere – especially during the atmospheric mountain masses, which are usually celebrated in June and September. It can be reached in several ways: on foot via the 4th stage of the "Heart of the Mostviertel" circular hiking trail https://www.komoot.com/de-de/tour/2346580792 – or by bike or car via the Voralpenstraße road from St. Michael. A quiet spot with a panoramic view – ideal for a rest.

Crossroads at the saddle near Spadenberg with the hiking trail on the ridge - cycling on the hiking trail is not permitted, especially in the direction of Glasenberg - use the cycle route on the north side via forest roads

Coming from Plattenberg, after the rest area, a beautiful meadow path begins at the edge of the forest, then a short section in the forest with strong roots, then a good forest path. At the junction with the summit path, there is a narrow trail with tree obstacles and some muddy areas, the path then ends at the beautiful forest road, which leads comfortably around the summit in a large arc.
