Hiking tour Starting from St. Aegyd; Gscheid
Although the Traisen-Gölsental valley is widely known as the most wooded region in the country, it offers fantastic views, especially in the south. The two very different twin mountains Gippel and Göller in St. Aegyd/Neuwalde exude a special charm. The fact that this area has always had a special attraction is also demonstrated by the numerous pilgrims who make the pilgrimage to Mariazell through the Traisental.

The contrasting summit pair of Gippel and Göller form the high alpine end of the Traisental. The tour to the Göller is one of the most rewarding pre-alpine tours. Visible geological differences: Göller made of dolomite, Gippel with "wall" and "nose" made of Dachstein limestone. Kernhof is also home to the well-known camel theater.
Start from Gscheid, across from St. Mary’s Church (marked in red), and hike over the Gsengerkamm ridge to the Göller summit (1,766 m above sea level) in 2 hours. From here, descend via the east ridge to the Rosskopf and, through dwarf pine forest, cross the Kleiner Göller to the Göllerwiesen and the Göllerhütte.(Open on weekends from April to October) Continue descending to the Waldhüttsattel and turn left onto the red-marked trail to Kernhof. (From the Waldhüttsattel, there is the option to cross over to St. Aegyd—total hiking time approx. 9 hours.) From here, you can continue directly on to the Gippel, the Göller’s twin peak.
