Tremmelberg "Tower in the mountains" above Calvary Church
There was already a radio tower on the Tremmelberg in the 1950s, which was also the inspiration for the current tower. The "new" tower was built in 1999 and is a wooden structure based on the Seckau "Dom im Gebirge". The structure is 42 m high in total, with the top viewing platform at a height of 36 m and can be reached via 202 steps (turnstile for ascent: €2 fee, closed in winter from November to March).

More information
From Judenburg via the Murtal freeway S36 (toll sticker required) to the "Knittelfeld-Ost" exit; continue via Kobenz to Seckau. (30 km, approx. 25 minutes).
From now on, we leave the road and walk past the wooden hut on the right, slightly uphill. A short stretch along meadows and then we are in the forest. We follow the well-marked hiking trail, which is a combination of paths and forest roads, until we come to a forest road junction, which can be recognized by information boards and Stations of Christ. Here we leave the road and continue uphill to the right along a path or hollow path. During the steeper ascent, we cross forest roads, but always stay in an uphill line until we reach the ridge and continue left at a crossroads station. Here too, the path is perfectly marked and clearly trodden. We pass information boards, where it is also much flatter. Just one more small ascent and we reach the Calvary Church (4), 1191 m. Past the church we come to a forest road, which we follow to the Tremmelberg (5), 1194 m, and the "Turm im Gebirge" observation tower. The way back is the same as the ascent route. A flatter alternative descent leads via Bauenhof vlg. Willhuber (see Tremmelberg hike via Willhuber).
Admission to the towers 2-euro coin. Closed in winter from November to March.
