Grebenzen

Grebenzen is a mountain summit on the border between Styria and Carinthia, standing at 1,892 meters. Its three distinctive peaks dominate the landscape and can be seen from numerous viewpoints across the surrounding area.

The name comes from Slavic language roots and means cock's crest, referring to the distinctive shape of the three peaks. This designation has been used for centuries in the region and reflects its long-standing cultural connections.

The Grebenzen hiking trail leads to the pilgrimage church in Maria Schönanger, connecting natural landscapes with religious heritage through mountain paths.

The mountain is accessible via several hiking trails, with a mountain hut at 1,660 meters offering food and shelter. Visitors should bring sturdy footwear and weather protection, as the terrain is exposed.

The slopes contain specialized habitats with rare lime flora species and various orchid populations that differ distinctly across different elevation zones. This ecological diversity makes the mountain botanically interesting for visitors who pay attention.
