Kienegger Loop
If you want to enjoy a panoramic view of the Mürztal from a high plateau, this hike is the perfect choice. Not only does it offer the chance to gain elevation, but also breathtaking valley and landscape views of the surrounding area.
The trail leads past the Schwarzkogel Chapel (highest point at 904 m), a sawmill, and the Hinter-Kienegger farmstead, before descending into the Mürzgraben.
This hike is also suitable for families, provided they have a basic level of fitness.

More information
Starting from the municipal office in Mürzhofen, we follow Wiener Straße in the direction of St. Marein. At the village square, we turn right into Kirchengasse, passing the church and the Antonibildstock shrine, then continue uphill until we reach the resting bench at Wiedenberg (Siebenkirchenblick).
From there, we follow the Wiedenbergweg, passing the Kögler (Spuler) and Moser (Zettelbauer) farmsteads, until we reach the next fork in the path. We take the left route, crossing the Schwarzkogelbach and continuing to the next junction, where we keep right and follow the forest road uphill past Vorder-Kienegger and the Schwarzkogel Chapel, then proceed to the sawmill and Hinter-Kienegger farmstead.
Just before the farmstead, we turn right, descending into the Mürzgraben. At the bottom, we turn right onto the road, which also follows trail 458, and leisurely hike out of the Mürzgraben back to the starting point of the tour.
Stop for refreshments at Turmwirt in Mürzhofen.
