Route description Eisenstein 7/7
The most challenging hike in our area, which definitely requires sturdy footwear.
From the village square, over the Pielach Bridge, the path leads around a house through the forest to the farm "Am Berg" and then mainly over alpine pastures to "Loicheck." There you will meet the long-distance trail 604A which follows the same route. Then begins the partly strenuous ascent to Eisenstein. After the forest section, you continue over the alpine pasture to the Julius-Seitner Hut. The return is along the same path to Schwarzenbach.
Directions
On the B39 towards Mariazell, turn left after the Schönau inn (Frankenfels) towards "Schwarzenbach/Türnitz" and follow the road to Schwarzenbach.
Parking
