Family-friendly hike from St. Aegyd via the Wancurasteig to the Zdarskyhütte on the Traisenberg
As the central elevation of the Lower Austrian Traisental valleys, the Traisenberg rises an impressive 1,230 meters into the air. Its generous massif covers over 30 km². A total of five peaks protrude from it. Isolated forest roads and paths lead through the mainly wooded mountain massif.
The Zdarsky hut on the Traisenberg at 1,082 meters invites you to take a break: with a variety of flowers, a playground and almost 40 places to stay overnight.
Pauli the fire salamander accompanies children and hikers along the way. He tells exciting stories about life, flora and fauna and the correct behavior on the mountain on several boards.
Sturdy footwear
Start from St. Aegyd heading north to Osterkogel, then always follow the marker through switchbacks in the forest. After about 1 hour, you reach the alpine pasture (with cows in summer) and the path continues across the alpine meadow to the Zdarsky hut.
