Schöckl Round from Schöcklkreuz (Plenzengreith)
The Schöckl is part of the Grazer Bergland and the local mountain of the people of Graz. But the Schöckl is also part of the Almenland Nature Park, the municipality of Passail reaches up to the summit plateau! This easy hike for the whole family starts at the Schöckl cross, leads up to the summit plateau and in a wide arc back to the starting point. A wide variety of activities await you at Schöckl, including a motor skills park, a disc golf course and a nature play trail for younger guests.
Less mobile guests can simply "conquer" the Schöckl by cable car, which brings guests up the mountain all year round. The valley station is in St. Radegund and has plenty of parking spaces.
Guests are catered for on the summit plateau by several inns and huts.
