Reinischwirt - Reinischkogel - circular route
From the starting point of the hike, the Reinischwirt, which is unfortunately currently closed, up to the summit cross on the Reinischkogel, you cover 280 metres in altitude.
The summit cross, the highlight of the circular hike, stands on a rock that you absolutely must climb to take the obligatory summit photo. There you also have the best opportunity to fortify yourself with a typical West Styrian snack that you have brought with you.
The way back to the Reinischwirt then runs comfortably downhill across flowering meadows. Here you can relax at a brisk pace and recover from the somewhat steeper stretch up to the Reinischkogel.

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.
