Höhenstein route

The actual "Höhenstein route" has been well marked with red signs for several years.

It is a relatively short and easy but very varied and therefore rewarding route. Although no single spot offers a panoramic view all around, the path passes many beautiful viewpoints that naturally invite stops and photos.

From the parking lot, follow the marked forest path uphill for about 35 minutes until you reach the ridge (bench; panoramic view of Ötscher, Scheiblingstein & Co). Then follow the ridge until you reach the highest point of the hike (wooden cross at Egger Berg 1,134 m). From here, it goes gently downhill to Höhensteineck. From there, go down through the forest to the Höhensteinstube house, where you follow the asphalt road back to the starting point.
