Access to starting point:
Over the border crossing Kuzma we drive to Austria and we continue driving towards the settlement Jennersdorf. From the roundabout before the highway we go to the first exit in the direction of the settlement Sankt Martin an der Raab, in the middle of the mentioned settlement we go right, so that we are further driving on Oberdrosener Landesstraße. After 3.5 km of driving on the mentioned road, we turn left on the road Oberberg and we start ascending. A little higher we go right (left - settlement Eisenberg) and then after approximately 50 meters we park on a parking lot at the information boards.
Path description:
From the starting point, we continue on the asphalt road, by which there are signs for Tromejnik / Dreiländereck, and when after a minute of walking, we get to the edge of the forest we go slightly right on a macadam road, on which we continue through the forest to few minutes distant guard tower.
From the tower we continue straight in the direction of tripoint, where we continue on a worse macadam road which changes into a cart track, and splits.
We continue on the slightly right path, which on the right side bypasses the nearby bee house (slightly left - path which mostly runs on national border), and few minutes ahead it brings us on a macadam road which we follow to the left. Next follows a walk on the road, and after approximately 25 minutes of additional walking, we get to a crossroad, where we join the path by the border.
We continue straight (sharply left on a marked path we return to the guard tower, left - tripoint, to the right leads the road towards the valley).
The path ahead leads us on a macadam road which is gently to moderately ascending, and a little ahead the road turns a little to the right. On the part when the road is turning to the right, a marked path branches off to the left, which leads on Holzmannkogel, the turn-off isn't marked and also the footpath further is hard to follow, but on the trees there are individual blazes. This pathless marked path we follow to a few minutes distant peak.
The starting point - guard tower 0:10, guard tower - Holzmannkogel 0:55.
