The Grüntalkogel is probably one of the less known hiking destinations in the Alpine foothills, yet on its summit there is even a hut with overnight accommodation. The Schneckensteig leads up - which, as could be expected, takes us comfortably to the top. You can choose between an easy trail and path depending on your surefootedness.

Relatively short and with hardly any views along the hiking path itself – therefore it is best to hike here from early to mid-October, when the forest itself becomes the highlight & the hut is still open!

Great view of the Texingtal valley – but also Ötscher, Plankenstein Castle & St. Pölten are clearly visible here.
