Description
The pre-Alpine route Annaberg - Tirolerkogel is considered a moderate, varied, and very beautiful hike, also ideal for families. From the highest point of the Tirolerkogel (1,377 m), hikers enjoy a magnificent panoramic view of the Ötscher, Dürrenstein and the Gemeindealpe, Gippel, Göller, Schneeberg, and the Hochschwab group. Snowshoers and ski tourers have also discovered the route for themselves.
Families stop at the Annaberger Haus for a cozy rest. The shelter is open all year round, closed Monday and Tuesday.
- Equipment Sturdy hiking boots
- Route description The well-marked route leads directly from the car park next to the B20 before Annaberg via the path "Am Gscheid" to the Tirolerkogel and back again. We start from the Tirolerkogel car park east of Annaberg on a gravel road comfortably up to the "Gscheid". Here, turning left, it soon ascends more steeply to Bergecke and into the "Specktal" (interesting folds in the Gutensteiner limestone on the left side of the path), where we soon reach the Halterhütte. Now cutting across the road bends, straight left over the slope covered with weather trees with an increasingly magnificent view up to the Annaberger Haus. At the end, we of course return along the same route.
- Parking Tirolerkogel car park before Annaberg next to the B 20

- Editor’s tip The local mountain of Annaberg, named after Tyrolean lumberjacks, is considered an excellent viewpoint. Especially in autumn, there is often an impressive long-distance view.The lush alpine flora is also worth seeing. Richly blooming gentian, various alpine flowers, and a large population of sycamore maples give the landscape its special charm.
