The Kogel is a wooded summit in the Wechsel area and forms a distinctive intermediate point on the further descent from the Niederwechsel towards Mönichkirchner Schwaig. Unlike the open heights of the Hoch- and Niederwechsel, the focus here is less on the view and more on the tranquil forest character. An inconspicuous, but beautiful additional summit along the route.

Even though this small, sacred monument isn't located on the famous Camino de Santiago through northern Spain, perhaps some thoughts from Hape Kerkeling might offer some inspiration in light of the summit cross standing here. The entertainer, famous especially in Germany, walked the Camino Francés in 2001 and kept a diary, which was published under the title "I'm Off Then." In it, he describes his personal encounter with God along the way as follows: "Yesterday, something inside me struck a huge gong. And the sound will resonate. Sooner or later, this path shakes everyone to their core. I know the sound will slowly fade, but if I listen closely, I'll be able to perceive this echo for a very long time."

Inconspicuous summit with no view. The ascent from Heidstübl is partly unmarked, and only on the descent towards Mönichkirchen do red markings appear again. A little below the summit you can see the Wechselkamm ridge: Steinerne Stiege - Niederwechsel - Hochwechsel.

Great view in all directions at a little over 900 m above sea level (incl. observation tower ;-) ...). Right next to the Kernstockwarte is the Hutwischhütte, where there is also a vending machine.
