Description
This combination of different hiking trails to the Hutwisch starts in the center of Bad Schönau, leads past the Sconarium and through the lovingly maintained spa gardens. A longer section of forest follows. Shortly before reaching the highest point, at almost 900m, the path through the forest becomes more challenging, but this section is short.
At the top, there is a great rest area and a viewing platform. You will be rewarded with a magnificent 360° view of Schneeberg, Rax and Wechsel and in the other direction as far as Lake Neusiedl, Hungary and southern Burgenland.
On the way back, the Path of Views offers many more opportunities to let your gaze wander over the Bucklige Welt.
