The path is partly covered with stones and tree roots, so be careful if it is wet. At the summit of the Löwekogl (802 m) we enjoy the panoramic view of Wildalpen (607 m) and the Styrian salt valley.
Now we go back a few metres from the summit and walk north-west along a little-used path along the grade.
We come to a crossroads where we turn left. From here we descend straight on to Hopfgarten.
After the descent you can explore the Hopfgartenrunde. A pleasant walk in an enchanting quiet landscape with old houses and new buildings that fit harmoniously into the natural surroundings.
In Jausenstation Karin's Stub'n you can enjoy excellent food and a very friendly welcome. By the way, you can have warm meals there until late in the evening, except on Wednesdays.
