    There are not many summits where, on clear days, you can enjoy such a magnificent panoramic view, ranging from Vienna and the Little Carpathians in the north, Lake Neusiedl and the Hungarian Plain as well as Burgenland in the east, the Slovenian mountains in the south, up to the Koralpe, Zirbitzkogel, Seckauer Zinken, Eisenerz Reichenstein, Hochschwab, Hohe Veitsch, Ötscher, Schneealpe, Rax, and Schneeberg in the west.

    Roadbook

    From the Mönichwalder Schwaig, you can hike the marked path via the toll road or right of the ski slope until you reach, to the right of the exit point from the drag lift, a forest path. Follow this path to the chapel where the toll road also passes. From here, follow the signs for Hochwechsel-Kaltwiesen. Pass the Kaltwiesen hut to the signpost Hochwechsel via Kaltwiesen. Initially through sparse forest, you quickly reach the flat open area; always follow the marked path to Hochwechsel. The descent begins first on the toll road, visible by pole markings; at the large rock wall leave the markings, follow the ridge on the right through open forest, orient yourself along the pasture fence. At the height of the Sagbauer hut, veer left again until you reach the markings (toll road) again; follow these up to the sign Kaltwiesen-Mönichwalder Schwaig. Follow the path back to the Mönichwalder Schwaig.
