Very nice hiking destination, which can be quite challenging in the snowy months. When the weather is nice, a great view of the Mur and Lavant valleys; And a view that shows Styria from a perspective that is foreign to East Styrians ;) The weather is difficult to assess and in mid-August can change quickly between rain and sunshine several times. Hood over 2000m is always good.

Wonderful view and beautiful summit cross. From up here you can see endless distances when the weather is nice. The Zirbitzkogel is well attended, which is why it is usually difficult to find a place at the Zirbitzkogel shelter. You can choose from different routes to the Zirbitzkogel. Whether easy or strenuous. There is something for everybody. The route from the Waldheimhütte is particularly beautiful.

You can spend a few relaxing hours at the lake very close to the mill or cool off on a hike. The beautiful bank is also suitable for a picnic break.
