Access to starting point:
We drive into Gornja Radgona, from where we drive into Austria. Through Radgona / Bad Radkersburg we follow the signs for highway, and after the settlement Halbenrain we turn right in the direction of the town Vrbna / Feldbach. When we get to the settlement Haag, at the crossroad for Waldsberg, there is the beginning of the described path, and we park in an appropriate place near the crossroad.
Path description:
From the spot where we've parked, we first walk to the described starting point crossroad and continue on a side road with signs for Wilhelmsdorf and Hochstraden. The road on which we continue initially remains at a steady altitude, then gradually begins to gently or moderately ascend. Higher up, the road leading past a few houses ends, and we walk to the nearby chapel, where the marked path turns right. We continue past a nearby house, before the field path turns left upwards; when the field ends, we go right, and shortly ahead, by the second house, we reach another road, where we turn left towards Hochstraden. Some ascent follows on a slightly narrower asphalt road, then we join a wider road leading towards the upper part of the village and the nearby quarry. The road towards the quarry we quickly leave, as at the turn-off to the left towards the inn Buschenschank Schober we turn left, and before the inn, we veer slightly right to pass above it. Next follows a panoramic diagonal ascent on the macadam road, where the view extends to the Alps; at the next houses, we reach another asphalt road. For about 10 strides, we continue among houses on the left and the forest on the right, then signs for Hochstraden direct us right into the forest. Through the forest, we initially walk on a faintly beaten path, following the blazes, and higher up, the footpath transitions to a cart track. Further, we encounter a few crossings, where we follow the blazes; when we join a better-trodden path from the settlement Bad Gleichenberg, we turn right.
As we approach the quarry, located southwest of the peak Stradner Kogel, the marked path turns left, and shortly ahead, back to the right. Next, we cross a meadow, where we turn left into the forest. In the forest, we quickly reach a cart track, on which we ascend to the peak, a few minutes away, where a large antenna tower stands.
