Masenberg via Schwaig, Pöllauberg

• Starting from the car park above the Naturparkarena, we walk to the crossroads with the chapel and the entrance to Pöllauberg.
• At the chapel, we keep left and walk approx. 200 metres along the Pöllaubergstraße L431 to the next crossroads with the signpost "Hartberg" and the red-white-red marking no. 942.
• We continue uphill "towards Olmstoll", where we immediately come across a slightly hidden bench directly on the hiking trail.
• Keeping to marker no. 942, we reach the Masenberg with its summit cross, Glückskapelle chapel and Schutzwirt inn after about an hour.
• At the Glückskapelle chapel, we keep left and follow the red-white-red hiking trail no. 950 towards Grafendorf and Hartberg past the Olmstoll (inn).
• We cross the municipal road to Vorau and take hiking trail no. 07 towards Schwaig/Hartberg.
• We walk past the air quality monitoring station on hiking trail no. 07 to Wiesberg-Straße.
• Heading south on this road, we come across a transformer where we turn left and walk to the "Schwaig" landmark at 970 metres above sea level.
• Once there, we follow the signposts towards Pöllauberg, the red-white-red marking no. 943, until we reach the Pöllaubergstraße L431.
• However, we now take the access road into the village of Pöllauberg and visit the pilgrimage church.
• Via the steps of the west portal of the pilgrimage church, we join the hiking trail towards Pöllau, but immediately leave it again to the right and take the Kogelweg to the car park above the nature park arena.
