Kerschkernkogel (2227m / 7470ft ASL) is one of the major peaks on nice smooth ridge of the Seckauer Tauern, which are part of the Niedere Tauern. It rises on the border between the districts of Mur and Leoben.

Summit register is hidden in metal box, mounted on the small summit cross with wooden ornament sign and elevation marker.
Access:
One of the marked trails up to Seckauer Alpen main ridge leads from Wald am Schoberpaß or Unterwald in the Liesing ditch, the former farmstead Postl in the Ripplewood ditch, steeply to the Hocheggriedel, then Grieskogel, Geierhaupt and further to Kerschkernkogel. It is long route, sure-footedness is required. Walking time from the Liesing trench is about 5 hours.

From the oposite western side, marked path leads from Gasthof Beisteiner to Bärensulsattel, continues to Lattenberg, Goldkogel and Kerschkernkogel. This route can take about 4 hours to climb.

And finally, there are some not marked trails, that lead from Ingeringsee lake on the Saurücken or from Hintertriebental over the Schaunitztörl and require good sense for orientation and good knowledge of the terrain.
