The easiest and safest descent to Stössing. The route runs entirely on well-surfaced paths, gravel and asphalt roads.
A wonderful "patch" of Wiesenwienerwald forest as far as Stössing. We hike along individual farmsteads typical of the region between idyllic orchards, pastures and lush forests.
This tour from Hegerberg to Stössing takes us along a well-maintained forest road through a magnificent beech forest, where we can enjoy the peace and freshness of our beautiful forests. We then hike from the Unterhegerberger farmstead through the scenic surroundings of Stössing down to the main road. This descent along an asphalted goods road is always accompanied by wonderful views of the Stössing valley, "Gut Solleneck" to the north and the Schönberg opposite. We cover the last 2 km on the main road with little traffic to Stössing. The ascent from Stössing can be made via the former monastery and today's seminar hotel Refugium Hochstrass or the hike over the Stollberg.
Normal hiking equipment
From the Johann Enzinger Shelter on the Hegerberg, we hike down the Hegerbergstraße towards Stössing. At the first farm, the "Oberhegerberger," we turn left and walk directly beneath the property along a gravel road. Accompanied by robust pear trees, the path leads us between meadows and pastures into the forest. Pleasantly downhill, our well-developed trail meanders through the beautiful, fresh beech forest to the "Unterhegerberger" property. Passing between the farm buildings, we now reach the asphalted Freiling farm road, which gently slopes down to the Günsbeck property and crosses the Stössingbach creek to the state main road. We keep to the right downstream and reach the center of Stössing after about 2 km. Here, two inns, a general store, and the long-established butcher provide refreshments.
