Eisenberg an der Raab - Holzmannkogel (by road)

Access to starting point:
Through the border crossing Kuzma we drive into Austria and continue driving towards the town Jennersdorf. From the roundabout before the entrance to the fast road we take the first exit in the direction of the settlement Sankt Martin an der Raab, in the middle of the mentioned settlement we go right, so that we continue driving on Oberdrosener Landesstraße. After 3.5 km of driving on the mentioned road, we turn left onto the road Oberberg and we start ascending. A little higher we go right (left - settlement Eisenberg) and then after approximately 50 meters we park on the parking lot at the information boards.

Route description:
From the starting point, we continue on the asphalt road, by which there are signs for the tripoint / Dreiländereck, and when after a minute of walking we arrive at the edge of the forest we go slightly right on a macadam road, on which we continue through the forest to the guard tower a few minutes distant.
From the tower we continue straight in the direction of the tripoint, where we continue on a worse macadam road which changes into a cart track, the latter of which splits.
We continue on the slightly right path, which on the right side bypasses the nearby bee house (slightly left path, which mostly runs along the state border), a few minutes further it brings us to a macadam road, which we follow to the left. Next follows walking along the road, after approximately 25 minutes of further walking we arrive at the junction, where we join the path along the border.
We continue straight (sharply left on the marked path we return to the guard tower, left - tripoint, right leads the road towards the valley).
The path ahead leads us on a macadam road which gently to moderately ascends, a little further ahead the road turns somewhat to the right. On the section where the road turns to the right, a marked path branches off to the left leading to Holzmannkogel, the branch-off itself is not marked and the trail further on is also not easy to follow, but there are individual blazes on the trees. We follow this pathless marked path to the summit a few minutes distant.
Starting point - guard tower 0:10, guard tower - Holzmannkogel 0:55.
