Bad Gleichenberg (Eichgraben Weg) - Gleichenberger Kogel

Access to starting point:
We drive into Gornja Radgona, from where we drive into Austria. Through Radgona / Bad Radkersburg we follow the signs for highway, and after the settlement Halbenrain we turn right in the direction of the town Vrbna / Feldbach. When we get to the settlement Bad Gleichenberg after the car wash Eurowash, we turn right on the road Badstraße, and then we drive also on Ringstraße, Bernreither Straße, Steinriegelstraße and here we turn left on Eichgraben Weg. On the mentioned path we drive for few 100 meters and then we park on a parking lot by the edge of the forest.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we go on a marked footpath which ascends through the forest, and at the very beginning on the left side we bypass a smaller recreation park. Next follows an ascent through the forest, where the path leads us past numerous learning boards, and at the crossings we follow the blazes of the path number 13.
Higher, the path splits, and we choose the path which continues straight and by which there are signs for Alte Wasserstelle (right - Mühlsteinbruch and Gleichenberg Dorf). Next follows some of crossing below Mühlsteinbruch, and then the path turns a little to the right and it brings us to the stream Bärenbach, where we join an old pilgrimage path. The path ahead passes to the other side of the stream and a little higher joins the cart track, where we join the path which leads via Mühlsteinbruch. Here we go sharply left and we are ascending diagonally, and higher the path splits. In the direction of straight continues a steep shortcut, and we continue left and then on the path, we start semicircular turning towards the right. We follow this path to the nearby peak, where by the ruins stands the cross with inscription box.
