Access to the starting point:
Exit the A2 motorway Graz / Graz - Vienna / Wien at the Pinggau, Friedberg exit, then take the exit from the nearby roundabout in the direction of the above-mentioned towns, Vienna and Graz. A few kilometres further on, at the junction of the regional roads, follow the signs for Vienna and Mönichkirchen. Continue along Wechsel Straße, leaving the mainly ascending road at the exit for Mönichkirchen. Then drive through the village to a large parking lot above the village, located at the foot of the ski slope.
Path description:
On the right, east side of the parking lot, the asphalt road continues, with a few more car parks alongside, and we follow it up by the ski slope. After a few minutes, we reach a marked crossroads where the path to Mönichkirchner-Schwaig splits into two.
Continue slightly to the left (straight ahead on the road) and continue along the right-hand side of the ski slope (the path across the ski slope leads past the Studentenkreuz cross). Then climb up the path, which leads along the edge of the forest, all the time close to the ski slope. At a higher altitude, cross the dirt road carefully, as during the summer season there are downhill runs with vehicles adapted for the use of the ski slopes on land.
Continue climbing along the edge of the ski slope for a few minutes before returning to the road, where you can turn left and walk to Berggasthof Mönichkirchner-Schwaig.
