Fessl Hut

The Fesslhütte, with its lovely garden, is a great place to stop for a snack. The food was delicious and the service was extremely friendly.

Talgraben Trail

Highlight • Trail

Very steep path for a circular hike over the Vogelbergsteig. There are simpler alternatives with more impressive views. Still definitely worth the walk.

Vogelbergsteig Ridge Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Due to the vegetation (including very small trees) and stone formations, the Vogelbergsteig has a very special character.
From the “Pulpit” you have a great view of the Danube loop …
