This is a challenging hike up the Karleck, which requires a certain level of fitness and endurance.
Due to its length, this hiking route should not be underestimated. However, once you reach the summit, the arduous climb is rewarded with a fantastic panoramic view of the Murau region. A worthwhile refreshment for this summit victory can then be taken at the Gastof Hirschenwirt in Schöder.
