Rein - Hochstein (Jägersteig)

Access to starting point:
From highway Maribor - Graz - Salzburg (A9) we go to the exit Gratkorn-Nord (2nd exit after the tunnel Plabutschtunnel). We turn right in the direction of Rein.
We drive through three roundabouts. At the first we choose 1st exit, at the second 2nd exit, and at the third 1st exit towards the settlement Rein.
There follow two more forks, where at the 1st we turn right, and at the 2nd left.
After 2.5 km we get to the settlement Rein, where we park on a large parking lot intended for visitors of the monastery.

Route description:
From the parking lot, we go on the path (along the hedge) in the direction of the monastery.
At the crossroad, we turn right over the bridge of the stream Mühlbach and immediately after the first house we continue left on a narrower road.
A few meters after that, when the path passes from the asphalt surface to macadam, we turn right on a hunting path (a sign with the inscription "Jägersteig").
After approximately 100 meters (by the fence) we turn sharply right steeply uphill.
On the top of the slope, we continue left on the ridge. First steeply upwards and then slightly up/down, until the path joins the road.
On the road upwards, after approximately 800 meters a sign again points us on a forest path.
The path higher again joins the road which this time we only cross. Then follows a junction, where we choose the left path (otherwise also the right path brings us higher again on the common path).
We follow the signs of the path. After the steeper part of the path, we get to a macadam road, where we stick to the right.
After 100 meters of walking on the road, we continue on a steep unmarked footpath left upwards.
Soon a nice view opens up on surrounding hills.
We follow the well-beaten footpath to the top.

We recommend: trips from the same starting point, similar trips
