Details for: Königsberg route
Brief description
The Königsberg route through the enchanting landscape of the Mostviertel offers stunning views of the Ybbstal Alpine region and great vistas of Gamsstein, Hochschwab, and much more.
Description
From the Bauernhaus Hochschlag on the partly steep alpine path to the Kitzhütte (operated from May to October), past this the path leads down the forestry road to the Eisgrabensattel. Here a forestry road branches off to the right, running high above the Sandgraben valley downhill. After about 2 km, a hunting trail begins on which surefootedness is partially required, leading out to the beautifully located mountain pasture of Hochau. Following the marking, past the former Hochscheuch farm, the path rejoins the Königsbergstraße at Sattelreith, and from there it goes about 400 m uphill back to the starting point.
