Turn-by-turn directions
The further path leads downwards to approx. 1728 m, followed by a ascent to Lahnernock (1861 m) and Rindernock (2024 m). From the cattle shed there are still about 100 meters of altitude to the summit of the Mirnock (2110 m) with the countless Steinmandln (stone pillars), stone walls and resting places.The summit of the Mirnock lies at the intersection of two geomantic lines - the monastery line and the cult line. The monastery line is located exactly between the Grossglockner and the Hochobir, the cult line lies between the Monte Lussari (Italy) and the castle Rosenau near Zwettel.
A wonderful place to pause, rest and gather, while enjoying the impressive landscape. A very special view is probably the glacier area of the "Tauernkönigin (3360 m) or Hochalmspitze to the north. The recommended and direct descent to the Kohlweißhütte and the Wieserhütte on approx. 1600 m leads over way no. 184 (for approx. 1 hour). At about 2030 m, a path branches off south-east directly to the Kohlweißhütte, which is the pick up point (please reserve the day before your hike).
