The double peak of the Lugauer rises as a freestanding, perpendicular, layered rock structure above the Radmer valley. The shortest ascent leads via G'spitzten-Stein - Haselkar and an extensive steep slope (Lugauerplan) to the SW summit. The crossing of both summits is impressive. The mountain tour is located in the Erzberg-Leoben region.

The demanding tour requires surefootedness and a good physical condition. The completely detached mountain offers a great panoramic view and gripping valley views. From the castle along the marking No. 868 upwards. Partly in the forest, over scree gullies to the rock face you walk over a forest belt, past the Steinen Mandl over meadow areas to the Gepelgrat. The summit ridge is somewhat exposed.

Very long tour - Radmer an der Hasl - Gespitzten Stein - Lugauer Südgipfel - OGipfel - Neuburgsattel - Neuburgalm (managed in the summer months) return to Radmer an der Hasel.

An emergency kit including blister plaster belongs in every backpack and a clothing according to the "onion system" is always recommended!
