Gösser & Sattelberge-Runde, Dürntal/Weiz
The easy path up to the Sattelberge is supplemented by the rather rough "Gösserringerl", which leads out onto the almost vertically sloping Gösserwand and requires surefootedness. However, the view from there is brilliant and extends far beyond Weiz and the Schöckl.
An easy trail, except for the "Gösserringerl", which requires surefootedness and a head for heights, but can be bypassed.
