Weißeck starting in St. Georgen ob Judenburg

From the village square in St. Georgen ob Judenburg (1), 734 m, we walk to the traffic circle and take the third exit. Here we hike uphill through the village, initially along an asphalt road, which then continues as a gravel road. In Georgner Graben, the road, which is also the hiking trail, leads continuously uphill. After approx. 2.4 km we come to a road junction (2), 1032 m, where there are also yellow signposts. We keep to the right and stay on the gravel road until we reach the summit. There are no red-white-red markings along the way, but there are always wooden signposts with the inscription "Weißeck". The road is locally known as "ORF-Straße", as this road leads directly to the ORF transmitter, which is located in the summit area. Shortly before the summit, you will see a path on the left, which you now follow up to the Weißeck (3), 1743 m. Of course, it is also possible to follow the road to the summit.

Those who enjoy circular hikes can walk over the mountain ridge to the Schafkogel and back to the Georgner Graben via the forest road.
