Jochart

The Jochart stretches 1,266 meters into the air near the Unterberg, which is particularly popular with ski fans, and the Reisalpe, which offers great views. The female-named mountain is located in the Gutenstein Alps, not far from Rohr im Gebirge. From here, a well-marked hiking trail leads directly to the summit of the Jochart. Its short ridge with a steep northern side is characterized by wooded areas. Even the summit cross at the highest point is surrounded by forest. However, some clearings near the summit offer surprisingly generous panoramic views - as far as Ötscher, Schneeberg and Gesäuse if the weather is right.

Nature lovers will get their money's worth in the quiet - and still comparatively little-visited - pre-Alpine landscape of the Jochart. We recommend bringing your own provisions and appropriate hiking equipment, as there are no huts along the way towards the summit.

Tip for the summit hike
From the public parking lot in Rohr im Gebirge, a red hiking marker first shows the way up to the Schacherkreuz, before a blue marker leads on to the summit. As there are no huts, we recommend bringing your own provisions.

Good to know: To this day, large pieces of an airplane that crashed in 1974 remain on the slope of the Jochart.
