    Wunderschöne Aussicht. Anstrengend. Laub der Blau- und Preiselbeeren war wunderschön farbig. Murmeltiere gibt es. Ein wunderschöner Tag. Habe einen Förster getroffen, der mit dem Auto bis zur Granitzelhütte gefahren war. Sonst niemanden.

    Gute 500 Höhenmeter vom Schloß Moosham bis zu diesem Kraftplatzerl. Der Mitterberg ist der zentrale Berg im Lungau, gelegen zwischen Mur- und Taurachtal. Auch Walfahrten von St.Michael bis zur St.Leonhardskirche führen über diese Anhöhe. Es gibt viele andere Möglichkeiten der Wegbegehung, teilweise sehr gut beschildert.

    Bis auf 1-2 Minianstiege Familienfreundlich. Etwas Ausdauer sollte schon vorhanden sein. Oder Pausen einplanen ;-) Sonst sehr schöne Gegend mit viel Blick in die Täler
