My pleasure tour every year, car to service and in the meantime a great MTB tour to the Ringkogel and of course with a stop at the nice landlady. A further ride to the Masenberg is recommended, everything is well signposted. The Glückskapelle and above it the summit cross, a true power spot. There is also a refreshment stop to strengthen you for the return journey. Then there is the possibility to go to Pöllauberg and back to Hartberg via the Pöllauberg cycle path, or with a few more meters of altitude, as shown in my tour profile, by crossing the ridge and along the back of the Ringkogel (east side) back to Hartberg. With a small round trip in the city center, cycling is allowed everywhere!! how nice! There is also wonderful Illy coffee, it was a successful, beautiful day.

The church was built in 1384 in quarry stone masonry and has remained unplastered. Therefore, the scaffolding holes are visible. It is one of the few churches in Styria whose original Gothic condition has been largely preserved. During renovation work in 1958, frescoes dating from around 1530 were uncovered. The frescoes in the chancel depict the Last Judgment. The floor of large stone slabs was laid in 1722. The sacristy was added to the church in 1771. The high altar was designed by the Hartberg sculptor Johann Feiner and the carpenter Georg Maurer in 1647.

I was there today. I didn't use the Komoot route, as it mostly led me along the main road. I followed the Alpine Club trail for large sections. It was a wonderful tour and a beautiful destination.

Currently (Sept. 2024) the cycle path is unfortunately closed due to damage caused by flooding/strong winds. I suspect that will take some time.

This church is already over 500 years old. For a long time, it was not certain that it would ever reach this age. In 1806, there were even calls for the church to be demolished, but this was only prevented because the community of Hofkirchen promised to cover the costs of its maintenance. Deither maintains it and constantly renovates it - most recently in 2002. The Gothic style has essentially been preserved, which is why this church is worth seeing: a Styrian landmark.
