Name: Hike from Pischkalm to Rennfeld
Brand: Steiermark
Rating: 3 (3 reviews)

From Pischkalm, the trail follows forest roads and woodland paths up to Rennfeld, with the return route following the same path as the ascent.

From Pischkalm, first follow a short forest road, then cross it multiple times, continuing on woodland paths until reaching the junction for the Jahnweg (marked). From here, you can either take the forest road to the left, which is easier and longer, reaching the summit in about 1 hour, or take the more direct, steep route via the Jahn summit, reaching the Rennfeld summit in about 45 minutes.

More information

From Bruck an der Mur to the district of Pischk, then continue via Glanzgraben to the Pischkalm (publicly accessible forest road).

Pischkalm - Follow the marked hiking trail to the junction for Jahnweg (yellow signposts) - Jahnweg (partly rocky and steep) - Jahn summit - Rennfeld summit meadow - Rennfeld summit - Rennfeld mountain hut.

Return along the same route as the ascent.

The Jahnweg is steeper, but much more scenic compared to the forest road variant.

Pischkalm is unfortunately not accessible by public transport!

Several parking areas are available at and slightly above the Pischkalm.
