From St. Dionysen/Bruck to the Kotzalm

The Kotzalm is one of the lesser-known but all the more rewarding alpine hikes from Bruck an der Mur. Starting from St. Dionysen, the alpine pasture, which is serviced in summer, can be reached in just 1.5 hours.

Nature lovers and adventurers should definitely climb the nearby Kletschachkogel (summit cross, with a beautiful view of Hochschwab).
