A hike leading to the Rosenkogel summit cross.
The starting point is the spa gardens in Bad Gams. From there, we walk about 1 km on flat ground towards Siggeriegraben, where the path soon begins to climb. We continue diagonally along the Greimkogel to the Jagermax; stop here and enjoy the view. From there, the route continues to the former Granlwirt, past the Mendl and via the Kogelschilling hunting lodge to the Rosenkogel summit cross.
The path then leads us to the former Absetzwirt and on from there to the former Reinischwirt, where we reach the end of our route.
A hike for lovers of summit crosses!
