Description: A beautiful hike that takes us to the Buchkogel. We start at the breakfast pub Stelzer Lex in Zeil near Stubenberg.
The hike begins with a moderate ascent to the lower Wetterkreuz, from now on it climbs steadily uphill until you reach the back of the Buchkogelzug. 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.
Directions: 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.

Tips for even more hiking fun: Rules of behaviour when hiking

A few tips for correct and fair behavior in the forest: (Source: www.bundesforste.at)

Hikers should avoid visits to the forest about 1.5 hours before sunrise and after sunset, as wildlife is particularly active during this time.Plastic bottles, handkerchiefs, cigarette butts & Co have no place in the forest! Please make sure that you do not leave any trash in the forest.Camping and making fire - is strictly forbidden in the forest!Basically, each person is allowed to collect 2 kg of mushrooms and berries per day in the forest for personal use. It is only forbidden if the forest owner expressly prohibits it.
Tips: We recommend:
After the hike a jump into the cool water (in the summer months) in the Stubenbergsee just right!Enjoy at the end of the hike, one of the many culinary delights of the ApfelLand
