Eisenerzer Reichenstein starting at Präbichl

This hike is located in ERZBERG LEOBEN and may be combined with the bike tour from Leoben to Präbichl

The tour offers a very scenic ascent along the well-known Nord-Süd Weitwanderweg, a magnificent view of the Erzberg and Eisenerz as well as the Vordernberger Valley.

From the inn Präbichlerhof through the Grübl (3 steep steps) to the Rösselhals. Now you change to the Eisenerz side and cross a steep grassy slope. Soon you reach a fork in the path. Follow the path until you are below the rocks, from here the path leads up a few metres to a rocky head, secured by ladders. You reach the summit via several hairpin bends (only for sure-footed mountain hikers).

ALTERNATIVE ROUTE

From the junction, take the right-hand path and avoid the rocky upturn. You reach the summit via several hairpin bends. The tour to the Eisenerzer Reichenstein from the Präbichl offers wonderful views and a challenging mountain experience.
