Hunter's cross on the Lobmingtaler-Rosenkogel

At the parking lot (1), 641 m, of the Raiffeisenbank in Großlobming, we follow the yellow signpost with the inscription "Jägerkreuz am Lobmingtaler-Rosenkogel". We walk through the village past Gasthof Wulz and continue in the direction of Kleinlobming. After a few meters, we turn left into the Sulzbachgraben and follow the avenue to the bridge, where a paved dead-end road runs parallel to the road on the right. Just behind the house we see a yellow signpost indicating the direction. From now on, we follow the well-marked hiking trail, which leads steadily uphill on hollow paths and forest roads until we turn right at a forest road junction. From now on we hike slightly uphill or almost flat. At the high-voltage power line, we have a beautiful view of the Judenburg-Knittelfeld basin with the Seetal Alps and Wölzer Tauern behind it. Turn left at a crossroads and continue along the forest road until you reach the Lobmingtaler-Rosenkogel (2), 1008 m, just before your destination. A newly erected hunter's cross with a wooden bench and the magnificent view towards the Seckau Alps invite you to linger. The way back is via the ascent route.
