Hexenstein

Highlight • Natural Monument

Nice rest area with a view near the Zauberkogel. During our visit, unfortunately, no cows and no planes

Zauberkogel in Diex

Highlight • Summit

At a time when people still believed in witches, Diex was talking about the Zauberkogel. At over 1200 meters, the Berglein is the highest point of the southern Saualm foothills and, when the weather is nice, offers wonderful views of the Jauntal, Klagenfurt Basin and the Karawanken peaks. A truly magical place. Even today.
