This 5 km long hike leads from Pöllau to the Grebenzen.

Depending on the season, the path leads through lush flower gardens with various types of orchids and rarities of enchanting limestone flora. Especially in June you hike through blue carpets of spring and stemless gentian flowers. The mountain owes its name Grebenzen, which comes from Slavic and means Hahnenkamm, to its three mountain peaks, the highest of which is 1870 m high.
