Beautiful there - no idea if there is still such a good view anywhere in the area! We were fortunate enough to have the Kitzelberg almost all to ourselves on Saturday at lunchtime and enjoyed the time up there extensively. When talking with a local biker we got the recommendation, the trail (hiking trail?) Not to go down and so we took the precautionary again the forest road. At the driveway is on the side, marked trails anyway biking prohibited.

The few meters of altitude are definitely worth it for a wonderful view of Lake Klopeinersee.

Klopeiner See

Highlight • Lake

The warmest lake in Austria. The place is a bit reminiscent of the Adriatic coast.

The way back down according to the directions was very adventurous and went down a very steep narrow path. Very slippery and unpaved - I would say dangerous.

Absolutely fantastic hike! The only problem is, once again, the parking issue. There are only parking spaces for vacation rentals, etc. At the point where the trail turns into the forest, there's a small public parking lot right next to the main road.
I haven't uploaded any more pictures; I think there are already enough informative ones.
