Starting at the Waldheimhütte hut we take path 320 to the Zirbitzkogel mountain. The hiking trail is well signed and easy to follow. We will pass the Geierkogel mountain and then hike on to the Zirbitzkogel mountain (2,396 m). The Zirbitzkogel is the highest mountain in the Seetal Alps and the most-hiked mountain in the Eastern Alps. The mountain is much loved by the locals and a coveted place for visitors.
We take a decent break in the Zirbitzkogel alpine hut (2,376 m). At Zirbitz-Werner's hut it is also possible to rest over the night.
A few steps across the alpine hut is the big summit cross (2,396 m). Here we can enjoy an impressive panorama of the Karawanks over the Julian Alps, Seckau Alps and Northern Limestone Alps including the Dachstein, Gesäuse and Hochschwab.
The descent over the Fuchskogel mountain (2,214 m, path 308) and the Wildsee lake (path 321) is nice here. Then it goes past the Türkenkreuz cross and the Maria in der Zirbe (Marry in the stone pine) monument and resting point back to the Waldheimhütte hut.
