This stage proves that there are also mountains on Lake Wörthersee. Before you even get to the Pyramidenkogel, you have to conquer the Rupertiberg, where a magnificent view of the Rosental and the Karawanken awaits. The climb to the Pyramidenkogel is not very long (4.5 km), but there is no time to recover. Unrhythmically it goes up the mountain and at the end another short but all the more poisonous climb awaits. You should take the time for a short visit to the 54 m high tower. You have a wonderful view over the Wörthersee, in the south to the Karawanken and Julian Alps to the Nockberge in the north. Finally, you can enjoy a snack in one of the numerous wine taverns.

A visit to the lookout tower pays off in any case. You have a magnificent view over the Wörthersee, to the Karawanken and Julian Alps in the south and the Nockberge in the north.
