Pleschaitz

Open

Depending on your condition, this is a half-day or day hike with several steep uphill sections, but mostly through the forest. Return via the same route.

After the first steep but shady ascent to Hinterburg, the GH "Alpenblick" invites you to take a short break before you have to walk a sunny stretch. Back in the forest, the trail climbs steeply again in several sections until you reach the ridge. Follow this ridge past ancient trees until you reach a clearing at the tree line. After a short ascent across a mountain meadow, you reach the summit cross of the "Pleschaitz" (Slav., translated: "bald head"). Here you are rewarded with a magnificent view in both directions of the Mur valley.

At the fork in the high ropes course, keep left in the direction of Hinterburg and Pleschaitz. After the first ascent, cross a forest road diagonally to the left and then follow the hiking trail uphill. This section of the trail requires some physical fitness due to its steepness.
