Eppenstein - Größenberg
Panoramic hike from Eppenstein via the Kickerlochhütte (1517m) to the Größenberg (2152m).
Marking 520: The trail climbs gently along the stream into the forest towards the Kickerlochhütte. After approx. 1 1/2 hours of walking, the path leads very steeply uphill to the right. After another ½ hour you reach the Kickerlochhütte. Once at the hut, you can stop for refreshments. Continue through the forest along the 520 markings until you reach the tree line and the Planriegel. From there, you can briefly see the summit cross. The last section leads across wonderful alpine pastures. From the summit cross, on a clear day, you have a wonderful panoramic view of the Seetal, Seckau and Eisenerz Alps as well as the Gleinalpe and nearby Amering.
