The Thalerkogel (1656m), in the southern Hochschwab massif, is located in the Erzberg-Leoben region.
This moderately difficult hike for the whole family leads alternately along hiking trails and forest roads.  After reaching the summit without too much effort, the hiker is offered a beautiful panoramic view of the Hochschwab massif, the Eisenerz Alps and, with good visibility, all the way to the Grazer Bergland.

More information

Deatils about arrival you can find here.
From Trofaiach, an approx. 14 km long access road leads to Gasthof Hiaslegg, 1145m. From there, continue on foot along wide and signposted paths along the forest ridge. Shortly before the summit, the path climbs a bit steeper once again, to then end in a beautiful high plateau. The Thalerkogel is an easy, non-strenuous hike, but the walking time can increase quite a bit, especially during the time when blueberries are ripe.
A refreshment in the rustic Almgasthaus "Hiaslegg" is recommended.
