Waldgebiet - Großer Hirschenstein

Access to starting point:
We drive to Rogašovci, and then we continue driving in the direction of Kuzma. After the settlement Sotina, the road towards Kuzma turns right uphill, and we continue straight towards Austria. While driving through Austria, at first we follow the signs for Jennersdorf, Güssing, after that to the settlement St. Michael im Burgenland, where we turn right towards the settlement Großpetersdorf. After the mentioned settlement we reach the main road Sombotel / Szombathely - Oberwart / Felsőőr, and we follow it right in the direction of Hungary. We leave the mentioned main road at exit for Rechnitz, and we drive to the mentioned settlement, from where we continue towards the mountain pass Geschriebenstein Passhöhe. A little before the pass, we notice signs for Großer Hirschenstein, which direct us left from the main road. The road ahead leads towards Waldgebiet, but we park at a suitable spot by the road.

Route description:
From the starting point, we continue on a side road which leads towards the former elderly home, still before the mentioned building, which is being renovated, the blazes direct us slightly right onto a cart track, along which we ascend diagonally towards the left for some time, and higher up we reach a macadam road, from which a beautiful view opens up towards the valley. A little further, the blazes direct us from the road slightly right onto a cart track, along which we reach an indistinct ridge and where we join the path from the mountain pass Geschriebenstein Passhöhe.
Here we go left towards the summit Großer Hirschenstein and in a few minutes of further walking, we arrive at the mentioned peak, where a large antenna tower stands.
