Description
The hike leads us along a pleasant hiking trail from the Ebnerbrand parking lot at the Kurzeck organic farm through the Siebenhütten alpine area over lush alpine pastures full of fragrant herbs. With only moderate ascent it passes contentedly grazing herds of cows. Now and then the surrounding forest of the Königsberg reveals dreamlike views of the surrounding mountain world. We repeatedly pass various alpine meadows and huts, such as Schlageralm, Vierhütten, Turnhöhe and Daucheralm, until we finally reach the managed "Kitzhütte". Here we find our well-deserved rest with a view of Hochkar and friendly hosts.
- Equipment Sturdy footwear, something to drink, a small snack for emergencies, as well as rain and sun protection, belong to every hike in alpine terrain.
- Route description Start the hike at the entrance to the alpine area (approx. 1100 m altitude): immediately after the barrier keep left and follow the forest road. This forest road leads after about 45 minutes of walking to the alpine hut "Siebenhütten". Continue straight ahead on the hiking trail over Schlageralm, Vierhütten and Durnhöhe to the "Kitzhütte". Return the same way back or descend to Hollenstein and take the bus back to Göstling.
- Parking There are plenty of free parking spaces at the Ebnerbrand parking lot
- Getting there From Göstling by car or minibus on the B 25 towards Lassing to the Göstling-Süd exit. Turn right here and follow a mountain road towards Siebenhütten about 5 km to the "Kurzeck" farm, the highest located organic farm in Lower Austria (1022 m altitude) to the Ebnerbrand parking lot in front of the Königsberg – Siebenhütten alpine area (6 km).
- Editor’s tip Spend the night at the Kitzhütte!The Siebenhütten Festival in mid-August is an alpine event like no other! Authentic, regional, genuine!
