Schwarzenbach town center
Route description Geißenberg Alm 7/4
From the town center we follow the asphalt road into the Obertal. After
the house "Waldblick" we turn left onto the "Wiener Weger'l"
and follow the forest path along the Schwarzenbachl (nicer than the narrow asphalt road). After the Obertal settlement,
we go left up to the "Krickl Marterl", then we go right up the gravel road.
Before the property "Vorderleiten" we turn left along the forest path through the property "Oberhof". We cross the
asphalt road and follow the meadow path toward "Hans'n Hütte".
At the Marterl we take the gravel road to the "Leiten Kreuz". From there
it goes continuously uphill through the forest to the Geißenberg Alm.
The return route can be taken above the property "Ober Fuchsriegel"
either right over the asphalt road past the property "Kowald"
or you can take the nicer way back through the Obertal.
Directions
On the B39 towards Mariazell, after the Schönau inn (Frankenfels), turn left towards "Schwarzenbach/Türnitz" and follow the road to Schwarzenbach.
