Hikers can currently only access the area via Hiking Trail No. 1! You can reach the Kulmspitz via the S350 and S306 mountain bike trails, but only from the “back,” that is, via Radstatt/Almsplatzl or via Oberwang (unfortunately, the loop via the S350 is not possible). Family-friendly, easy hike with a great panorama from the Kulmspitz lookout tower. From the hiking car park in Stabau we pass the barriers and then walk straight on along the forest road. After a while, the forest road turns. Here we keep left and continue to follow the forest road slightly uphill to the Kulmspitz lookout tower.
