Rein - Hochstein (Jägersteig)

Access to the starting point:
From the motorway Maribor - Graz - Salzburg (A9) take the exit Gratkorn-Nord (2nd exit after the Plabutschtunnel). Turn right towards Rein.
Go through three roundabouts. Take exit 1 at the first, exit 2 at the second and exit 1 towards Rein at the third.
There are two more forks, where you turn right at the 1st fork and left at the 2nd fork.
After 2. 5 km you arrive in Rein, where you park in a large parking lot for visitors to the monastery.

Path description:
From the parking lot, follow the path (by the hedge) towards the monastery.
At the crossroads, turn right over the Mühlbach stream bridge and immediately after the first house, continue left along the narrower road.
A few metres after the path changes from asphalt to gravel, turn right onto the hunting trail (signposted "Jägersteig").
After about 100m (by a fence) turn sharp right up a steep hill.
At the top of the slope, continue left along the ridge. First steeply up, then gently up/down until the path joins the road.
Follow the road uphill, after about 800 m the sign directs you back to the forest path.
Higher up, the path rejoins the road, but this time only cross it. Then there is a crossroads where you take the left path (otherwise the right path also leads you higher up again on the common path).
Follow the trail signs. After the steeper part of the path, you will reach a macadam road, where you keep to the right.
After 100m walk along the road, continue up the steep unmarked track to the left.
Soon a beautiful view of the surrounding hills opens up.
Follow the well-worn track to the top.
