Wolfgang Church - Kernstockwarte

<p>The starting point of the hike is the Gothic Wolfgang Church. Via the Kirchgraben hiking trail, we reach the Wolf farm. After about 300 m we turn right into a forest path towards Kernstockwarte where we meet the Kernstockwarte-Ramssattel hiking trail (green marking). From there we follow the signs towards Kernstockwarte. The last few hundred meters must be hiked on a steeply ascending rocky footpath. Once at the top, we are rewarded with a magnificent panoramic view of the Wechsel region, Stuhleck, Rax, and Schneeberg.</p><p>The return route follows a narrow path over which we reach the Kernstockwarte-Ramssattel hiking trail (green marking) again. We follow the signs towards Kalvarienberg and via the Kalvarienberg and the Kernstockwarte-Ramssattel hiking trail (green marking) we pass the parish church and elementary school back to the Wolfgang Church.</p>
