Kapfenberg is nestled in a beautiful natural landscape. The city has also made a name for itself as an international sports and training hub. Despite all of this, Kapfenberg places great importance on harmony between life and work in an intact environment.
Especially on this hike to a summit with a view, we have a magnificent view of the Mürztal Valley!
From Burg Oberkapfenberg, we hike to the Prieselbauer inn. From there, the marked trail 714 leads us to Frauenberg, with the pilgrimage church of Maria Rehkogel. We then follow the marked trail 715 from the Frauenberg municipal office. At the final stage of this tour, we walk through the increasingly sparse forest to the summit meadow, where we reach the Rennfeld Shelter of the ÖAV Section Bruck an der Mur. This section is known as the "Götterquergang"(God’s Traverse). In winter, we recommend using crampons here, as this rocky trail is often icy, creating a slip hazard.
Before descending, we can visit the summit cross, which stands a little away from the hut, and enjoy the peace and quiet on Rennfeld.
An alternative for the return journey is the hike over the Buchecksattel to the Jagaalm or back to Bruck an der Mur.
