Route description Semmering - Pinkenkogel - Kampalm tour
The starting point of the hike is the parking lot at the Semmering Pass near the supermarket. First, we briefly go up the steep meadow to the Grenzland hut and then go left for 200 m along the Hochstraße. Before the Hotel Panhans, we turn left onto the long-distance trail 804 which leads towards Pinkenkogel. We walk along the forest road until after about one kilometer the forest path branches off to Pinkenkogel. In serpentine bends, we go to the clearing just before Pinkenkogel. Here we continue uphill along the forest road. After about 400 m, a forest path (long-distance trail 804) branches off to the right. Now we always go alternately uphill and downhill through the forest along the mountain ridge. Our descent goes over the Saurücken again through the forest to Spital am Semmering. Alternative: Probststeig - steep.
