The hike to the Lilchtenberg is one of the most popular hikes. Starting point is directly at the rehabilitation centre of Kogl or at the country inn Spitzerwirt. The signposted hiking trail 1c is also the most direct route to the Attergau observation Tower.

From the parking lot at Landgasthof Spitzerwirt, hike right along the road, past the Reha Center to the Mair-Zeininger carpentry shop. Past this, the road leads in the direction of Lichtenberg into the forest and winds continuously up the mountain. After about 2 km you leave the road and turn right into a forest path.
You hike alternately on forest roads and forest paths until you reach the junction "Attergauer Aussichtsturm", which you reach from here in about 10 minutes. The same path leads back to the starting point.

There is also the possibility to extend this tour a bit. You can make the way back via the "Klauswald". Here you go from the "Attergauer Aussichtsturm" to the Berggasthof Danter and further along a piece of meadow path to the crossroads in the forest. Now follow the "Hubert-Gantioler-Weg" downhill to the forest road and turn left - you hike via the Klauswald and the Koglberg back to the starting point.
