Pfaffensattel - Kleiner Pfaff

Access to starting point:
From the border crossing Šentilj we continue driving on the highway towards Gradec / Graz and forward towards Linz and Salzburg. We soon leave Highway A9 and continue driving slightly to the right towards Vienna/Wien, proceeding on Highway S35. From this highway, we then merge onto Highway S6, still following the signs for Vienna. We leave the highway after the tunnel Spital/S. and then we take the exit towards Semmering. We continue following the signs for Steinhaus and Spittal/S. and shortly after, we turn left towards the settlement Birkfeld and the mountain pass Pfaffensattel. We keep following the signs for the mentioned mountain pass, where we park.

Path description:
From the mountain pass, we head to the eastern side of the road, where we take the path towards the summit Hochwechsel and the mountain pass Feistritzsattel. We initially walk on a rougher road, passing a gate, and in a few minutes, we reach a spot where blazes direct us slightly to the right onto a footpath that soon begins to ascend steeply. Higher up, the forest thins, the path levels out, and with some views along this section, we reach the peak Grabmayr-Kogel.
From the aforementioned summit, the path returns to the forest and briefly descends. Next follows a few minutes of walking without significant changes in altitude, and then we notice signs for Kleiner Pfaff, which direct us to the right (the sign is from the opposite direction).
We proceed along the mentioned path, which, a little further on, descends more steeply for a few steps, and then begins to ascend diagonally across the slopes of the peak Kleiner Pfaff. For a few minutes, we ascend diagonally, and upon reaching the ridge, we turn left and in a few steps reach the panoramic peak.
The starting point - Grabmayr-Kogel 0:25, Grabmayr-Kogel - Kleiner Pfaff 0:20.
