From the Reicherhuber we hike via the Wolfsgrube to the Repenstein, 1958 m. Above the tree line, the signposted trail leads steadily uphill, first to the Kleiner Ringkogel and then to the Großer Ringkogel, 2277 metres. A characteristic mountain tour along the broad mountain ridges in the Seckau Alps in the Murtal adventure region.

The hike leads via the Wolfsgrube to the Repenstein and on to the large Ringkogel. In the lower section we are in the forest area, at the "Siebenbauern" we come to a dense mountain pine area and from the Repenstein we hike over the ascending mountain ridge to the large Ringkogel.

Hikers should avoid visits to the forest about 1.5 hours before sunrise and after sunset, as wildlife is especially active during this time.
