Hinteralm (summit)

The 1,313-metre-high Hinteralm is the highest point in Lilienfeld and, like the Muckenkogel, is one of the most beautiful panoramic mountains in Lower Austria. The view extends to the north over the Danube valley and to the south far into the Alps.

Location: Mostviertel, Lilienfeld district, Gutenstein Alps

Lilienfeld is just an hour's drive from Vienna and offers nature lovers numerous hiking trails and alpine climbs. The alpine pasture region around the Muckenkogel is accessible by the Lilienfeld chair lift.

The 100-year-old Traisner Hut is located directly at the summit of the Hinteralm and invites you to stop for a bite to eat!

Opening hours: Open all year round (closed on Mondays)

In winter, the Hinteralm/Traisnerhütte is the starting point for ski tours, in summer for extended hikes.
