The hike begins at a fork in the road in front of the former Pauliner monastery and leads partly over unmarked forest roads and forest trails towards Marzer Kogel. This is bypassed and the Kogelberg is hiked. The signs with the inscription Kogelberg point to the Marzer Kogel and are therefore, in my opinion, incorrect, as according to the map the Kogelberg is not the Marzer Kogel.
Author’s recommendation
A small adventure hike in the cold season through leafless deciduous forests in the sunshine. The path through the forest is best followed with a GPS device.

In winter, due to the risk of ice on forest roads, crampons are recommended.Roadbook
From a fork at the end of Klostergasse, take the paved forest road past the monastery, then after a right turn go up into the forest. Follow this road to a crossroad, where you turn left towards Schmidtkreuz. Then at a junction turn right into the vineyards towards Grimmingkreuz. From Grimmingkreuz, go down a path and southeast to a barely visible trail that leads through the forest to the B30 cycle path. At the cycle path, briefly turn right and then into the first somewhat neglected forest road to the right. This is partly obstructed by fallen trees. Before crossing the forest road, there is a ditch with a footbridge. Then follow the forest road to a crossroad where after about 200 m a forest road branches off to the left. Follow this according to the coordinates to Kogelberg according to the map. A tree has a blue plastic band. However, this may not be correct, as on the forest road further uphill at the height there is a survey marker that appears to be correct. From there, return to the forest road and take it left downhill to an incline. Before this, return along the right edge of the forest to the starting point.
