A beautiful wayside shrine. Right next to it, you'll find a bench with a view of the Ringkogel and the Ringwarte.

My pleasure tour every year, car to service and in the meantime a great MTB tour to the Ringkogel and of course with a stop at the nice landlady. A further ride to the Masenberg is recommended, everything is well signposted. The Glückskapelle and above it the summit cross, a true power spot. There is also a refreshment stop to strengthen you for the return journey. Then there is the possibility to go to Pöllauberg and back to Hartberg via the Pöllauberg cycle path, or with a few more meters of altitude, as shown in my tour profile, by crossing the ridge and along the back of the Ringkogel (east side) back to Hartberg. With a small round trip in the city center, cycling is allowed everywhere!! how nice! There is also wonderful Illy coffee, it was a successful, beautiful day.

The castle and the pretty little park have their charm at night too, I find. I like the play of light and the mix of nature and historical background. And if you're lucky, you can also get a coffee at the castle restaurant ;)
