Kirchbergrunde (Schalenstein; trail 9)
Open
The tour overcomes both on the ascent and on the way back relatively quickly about 400 hm, but rewards with a great view!
On the municipal road you quickly gain altitude and have repeatedly beautiful views of Oberwölz, the Wölzer Valley and subsequently the surrounding mountains. Once you have finally discovered the mysterious, mystical Schalenstein in the forest, you turn around and continue the circular route downhill, whereby the last section of the forest is somewhat steeper. The entire path lies mainly in the sun.
