Geierhaupt (2417m / 7930ft ASL) is the highest mountain in the Seckauer Tauern, which are part of the Niedere Tauern. It rises on the border of the municipalities Gaal and Wald am Schoberpaß which also forms the border between the districts of Mur and Leoben.
Access:
Marked trail leads from Wald am Schoberpaß or Unterwald in the Liesing ditch, the former farmstead Postl in the Ripplewood ditch, steep to the Hocheggriedel and finally the Grieskogel. It is long route, sure-footedness is required. Walking time from the forest about 5 hours, with car access in the Liesing trench 4 hours.

Another marked path leads from Gasthof Beisteiner to Bärensulsattel, continue to Lattenberg, Goldkogel and Kerschkern(Kogel), and finally through Schrimpfkogel from the west to the Geierhaupt summit. The route is exhausting because of its length and two major ascents, slip resistance is required. Walking time about 5 hours.

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.
