You start your circular hike at the Reinischwirt. Here you can leave your car and get involved in the unique area of the Reinischkogel. Follow the circular trail marked 23, which takes you up a somewhat steeper path through the forest to the summit cross. The sun's rays penetrating through the dense leaves in summer draw beautiful patterns on the forest floor and it is wonderfully cool in the shade. This trail is a special experience in autumn, when the leaves glow in bright colours all around. Enjoy the wonderful scent of the forest and watch the birds living there for a while. You might even spot a pheasant or two.
The summit cross on the Reinischkogel stands at 1463 metres above sea level. It owes its firm stand to a rock that lies at its base. Here you can recover perfectly from the ascent and recharge your batteries. Don't forget to sign the summit book with a funny hiker's saying. The hikers after you will also appreciate a good joke.
On the right, at the summit cross, you will immediately meet the hiking trail with trail number 551. Follow this until you meet the forest trail from Schrogentor, with number 569. This leads you to the right along the leisurely downhill fort road back to the Reinischwirt, which you will reach again after about one hour and 45 minutes.
You should end the hiking day well relaxed in one of the outstanding restaurants on the Reinischkogel. Visit the forest pigs at the Jagawirt or the impressive red deer at the Wassermann inn.
