The hike to the Mittagsstein near Hirschwang is a rather unknown route, marked very poorly or not at all, but the slightly trodden path is recognizable with an appropriate preview, despite the foliage.

Varied mountain hike on the Styrian-Lower Austrian border near Reichenau an der Rax. This tour begins with a scenic ascent in the Rax cable car from Reichenau an der Rax to the mountain station.

Worthwhile ridge hike in Lower Austria. The Rax cable car takes you up. In about half an hour you have arrived at the Ottohaus on the Schwaigriegelsattel. On the way you can enjoy the impressive views of the neighboring mountain massif on the high trail. From the Ottohaus, you then continue by sea via a pleasant, hilly path. It goes all the way to the Neue Seehütte - here you can enjoy hearty or sweet regional dishes and then head back with renewed energy.
