Masenberg circuit, Pöllauberg
In good weather, we also have a fantastic view of the Joglland with the Hochwechsel and the Fischbach Alps (Pretul, Stuhleck), the Almenland, the Kulm, the Riegersburg and even Slovenia.
With a bit of luck, we can observe the magnificent ibex and mouflon on this hike in the game reserve between refuge hut and Olmstoll.
