Tremmelberg "Tower in the Mountains" above Vorder-Tremmel

Open
A leisurely hike along forest roads to the towers.
The hike to the Tremmelberg via the farm vlg. Vorder-Tremmel is an easy tour, which is led exclusively over forest roads. It climbs steadily to the 1194 m high Tremmelberg. When you reach the highest point, you will see the 42 m high observation tower "Turm im Gebirge" in the middle of the forest on a small clearing. From here you have a magnificent view of the Judenburg-Knittelfeld basin and the surrounding mountains of the Seckau Alps, the Styrian Randgebirge and the Seetal Alps. The tower measures 42 meters in height, with the top viewing platform at 36 meters, which can be reached via 202 steps (turnstile for ascent: €2 fee, winter closure from November to March). In 1999, the tower, which cost around six million shillings and was awarded the "German Architecture Prize" and the "Styrian Timber Construction Prize", was completed. At the opening ceremony on May 24, 1999, about 8000 people hiked up the Tremmelberg to witness this special day. Then as now, the Tremmelberg with the "Tower in the Mountains" is a popular hiking destination.

More information

From St. Michael in Upper Styria via the Murtal highway S36 (vignette required) to the exit "Knittelfeld-West"; continue via Sachendorf (direction Gaal) to the clearly visible parking lot at the end of the village (27 km, approx. 20 minutes).

 

From Judenburg via the Murtal Schnellstraße S36 ("vignette" required) to the exit "Knittelfeld-West"; continue as above. (19 km, approx. 20 minutes).

At the Sachendorf parking lot (1), 697 m, we follow the asphalt road, past the meadows and fields, slightly uphill. After a few minutes we reach a few houses and come to the junction (2), 715 m, of the hiking trails "Temmelberg via Wolfsgrube" and "Tremmelberg via Vorder-Tremmel". We keep to the left and follow the wide forest road uphill for about 3.2 km, always staying on the clearly recognizable main trail, which leads to the farm vlg. Vorder-Tremmel (3), 1040 m. The hiking trail passes just above the farm and offers a wonderful view of the Judenburg-Knittelfeld basin in this section. Back in the forest, a forest road branches off to the right. We follow this and pass a red barrier and subsequently a wooden barn. Shortly after, we reach a fenced crossroads, which we pass on the right. From now on the steeper part of this hike begins. We follow the narrow gravel road that leads in a line uphill. Only shortly before our destination does the road join the wide forest road, which is also used as a private access road for the Tremmelberg. Here we turn left and follow the road that leads slightly uphill to Tremmelberg (4), 1194m. The way back is the same as the ascent route. A steeper descent alternative runs via the Wolfsgrube (see Tremmelberg hike via Wolfsgrube).
For a circular hike, you can hike to Sachendorf via the steeper descent over the Wolfsgrube.

Entrance towers via a turnstile (2-euro coin). Winter closure from November to March.

The starting point in Sachendorf is easy to reach by bus (bus stop "Sachendorf Abzw Maßweg", from there 15 minutes walk). The nearest train station is in Knittelfeld.
