By car to snowshoe hiking - a few things to watch out for!
Good winter tires are an absolute MUST!Ice scraper, snow broom, de-icer for the door locks and a small shovel belong to the basic equipment.Put snow chains and a tow rope in the car, even if you are not good with them yourself. Helping and knowledgeable hikers are always available on the mountain!Clear the car completely of snow and ice, especially sweep off the roof of the car completely.When parking, make sure you leave room for other motorists.Always park so that the rest of the roadway remains clear for cars, logging trucks, and snow removal vehicles.Find out about the snow situation on the access road or parking facilities before setting off.

Tip for experienced snowshoe hikers: For the ascent to the crossless Gruber-Hirnkogel, we take the direct route over the ridge to the left of the gully. If you would like to stay a little longer in the scenic terrain, you could hike on from there to the summit cross of the Hirnkogel.
It takes about 70 minutes to get to the "Pusterwald Mitterbacher" stop from Judenburg and about 20 minutes from St. Oswald-Möderbrugg.
