Bad Gleichenberg (Eichgraben Weg) - Gleichenberger Kogel

Access to the starting point:
We drive to Gornja Radgona, from where we drive to Austria. Through Radgona / Bad Radkersburg, follow the signs for the motorway, then turn right after Halbenrain towards Vrbna / Feldbach. When you reach Bad Gleichenberg after the Eurowash car wash, turn right onto Badstraße, then follow Ringstraße, Bernreither Straße, Steinriegelstraße and turn left onto Eichgraben Weg. Continue along the above-mentioned path for another 100 metres and then park in the parking lot at the edge of the forest.

Path description:
From the parking lot, follow the marked footpath as it climbs through the forest, passing a small recreation park on the left at the very beginning. The path then ascends through the forest, where it passes a number of information and educational signs, and at the crossroads you follow the markings of route No 13.
Higher up, the trail splits, and we take the path that continues straight ahead, with signs for the Alte Wasserstelle (Mühlsteinbruch and Gleichenberg Dorf on the right). There is some crossing below Mühlsteinbruch, then the path turns slightly to the right and leads to the Bärenbach stream, where we join the old pilgrim's path. The path then crosses over to the other side of the stream and joins the cart track a little higher up, where it joins the path leading through the Mühlsteinbruch. Here go sharp left and climb cross-country, but higher up the path splits. A steep shortcut continues straight ahead, and we continue to the left and then follow the path as it begins a semicircular turn to the right. Follow this path to the nearby summit, where there is a cross with a registration box by the ruins.
