Siebenkögel-Round Trip, Sommeralm

• We start at the Stoakoglhütte, above the hut we enter trail no. 745 and walk a little above the Sommeralmstraße to the windmill.
• At the windmill we go down to the Sommeralmstraße and cross it.
• Between GH Derler and the Sommeralm chapel is the entrance to the forest road in the direction of "7-Kögel-Weg, GH Holzmeister" (trail no. 706).
• After approx. 500 m we take the short climb to the right up to the "Drei Wetterkreuzen" (trail no. 45)
• We continue on the Almenland hiking trail no. 45 across the alpine pastures to the crossroads at the "Schwoabauer-Kreuz".
• From the "Schwoabauer cross" the path leads right down to the Mixnitzbach and further to the GH Holzmeister.
• We go right through the courtyard of GH Holzmeister and then across the road, the entrance to trail no. 702/745 is marked "Moosholt".
• Via the "Kerschbaumgatterl" we now go back up to the Sommeralm (trail no. 730/745).
• Shortly before the Sommeralm windmill, the ascent begins on the left up to the Plankogel summit (follow the signposts!).
• From the Plankogel summit cross we descend steeply to the "Stoakoglhütte" - our starting point.

If you want to avoid the rather steep descent from the Plankogel, go back to the windmill and from there again the trail no. 745 along the Sommeralm road to the Stoakoglhütte!

Martina and Heimo serve roast pork, Beuschel or blackberry strudel in the Stoakoglhütte. If there is time, Heimo reaches for the "Styrian"!
