We start at the village square of St. Georgen ob Judenburg (1), 734 m, and walk slightly downhill through the village. After crossing the Mur bridge and the railway tracks, we see the yellow signposts at the crossroads. We keep right uphill and follow the tarmac road through Pichlhofen to the crossroads and then turn left. The road is almost flat. At the next crossroads, we turn right and follow the road uphill until shortly after the house at Pichlhofen 3, where the tarmac road ends and continues as a gravel road. The route continues comfortably uphill, past the access road to the farm vlg. Wagner farm, until we reach a crossroads shortly afterwards. Here we turn left into the side road, which now leads uphill over several long serpentines. After a gate, we come to the open alpine pastures of the Nußmoaralm (2), 1152 m, and enjoy the view towards the Seetal Alps as we continue our ascent. This is followed by a mix of alpine pastures and forest areas until we reach a crossroads and continue left. The forest road leads into a path that runs steadily uphill along a fence. We reach the saddle and see the yellow signposts. Now we turn left and after a few metres we reach the Habringsattel (3), 1406 m.
Due to a barbed wire fence, we recommend taking the detour to St. Oswald-Blick via the Habringsattel waypoint and then right along the forest road to the open areas with the magnificent view to St. Oswald. A few metres from the Habringsattel, you can see the start of the path to the summit. The path leads somewhat more steeply uphill through the forest until we reach our destination, the Habring (4), 1497 m, just before the summit area. The way back is via the ascent route.
An alternative descent variant leads via the Schalenstein to St. Georgen - see hike "Habring via Schalenstein" (click on link).
