Access to starting point:
We leave the highway Maribor-Graz-Salzburg (A9) after a few shorter tunnels outside Graz and continue right on the fast road in the direction of Wien-Bruck/Muhr-Peggau.
We leave the fast road at exit Peggau-Mitte and continue right in the direction of Deutschfeistritz.
After approximately 800 meters we again turn right in the direction of Deutschfeistritz.
We get to the settlement Deutschfeitritz, we cross a railway track and at the next crossroad we turn left and then immediately right (sign Tennishalle).
We drive on a narrower street and at the next crossing we turn right (sign Tennishalle). We get to the parking lot, where we park.
Route description:
From the parking lot, we go back in the direction of arrival to the crossroad with the main road.
At the crossroad, we turn left and cross the bridge over the river Übelbach.
We head toward the hill in front of us. The Way of the Cross leads us past several stations to the summit of Kirchberg, where the church of St. Martin stands.
From the church, we descend on the other side along a narrower asphalt road. Before reaching the bench, we leave the road and turn left onto a forest footpath.
The steep footpath over the ridge of Kugelstein brings us relatively quickly to the highest point of the ridge, the summit of Kugelberg.
The peak of Kugelberg is not particularly marked; it is only indicated by a simple border stone.
We go right and follow the path, which then joins a macadam road. The road through the forest leads us to a house, where we see Permagseggkogel ahead.
We follow the road towards the summit. At the chapel, we then turn left towards a distant house. When we reach the house, we continue along the road past the building, then turn right into the forest.
We follow the forest path to the summit, where a cross and an inscription box are placed. From the summit, we admire a beautiful view towards the west over the surrounding hills.
The path is easy and uneventful, though the ascent to Kugelberg is quite steep at the start.
