Access to starting point:
From the border crossing Šentilj we continue driving on the highway towards Gradec / Graz and forward towards Linz and Salzburg. We soon leave Highway A9 and continue driving slightly to the right towards Vienna/Wien, proceeding on Highway S35. From this highway, we then merge onto Highway S6, still following the signs for Vienna. We leave the highway after the tunnel Spital/S. and then we take the exit towards Semmering. We continue following the signs for Steinhaus and Spittal/S. and shortly after, we turn left towards the settlement Birkfeld and the mountain pass Pfaffensattel. We keep following the signs for the mentioned mountain pass, where we park.
Route description:
From the mountain pass, we head to the eastern side of the road, where we take the path towards the summit Hochwechsel and the mountain pass Feistritzsattel. We initially walk on a rougher road, passing a gate, and in a few minutes, we reach a spot where blazes direct us slightly to the right onto a footpath that soon begins to ascend steeply. Higher up, the forest thins, the path levels out, and with some views along this section, we reach the peak Grabmayr-Kogel.
Description and pictures refer to the condition in May 2023.
