The hike on the Buchkogel starts at the Stelzer-Lex bed and breakfast. It begins with a moderate ascent to the lower Wetterkreuz.
There the trail leads into the forest and climbs through woods to the ridge of the Buchkogel mountain. After a short steep climb on a narrow path along the ridge, you will reach the summit of the Buchkogel. Here you will be rewarded for the effort with a magnificent view.
The descent first leads through mixed forests again to a crossroads, from the Gaber homestead it goes steeply downhill on a side road, before crossing another short stretch of forest.
Below the forest, the trail leads you past meadows to a side road, which you follow parallel to the slope until you reach the Stelzer-Lex inn.
