Rabl-Kreuz-Hütte

Highlight • Mountain Hut

On the way to the Hochwechsel is located at 1,351 meters above sea level Rabl-Kreuz-Hütte, which is ideal for a small or large break. Because here you can not only eat and drink (on the large sun terrace), but also sleep in the bed camp.

Wetterkoglerhaus at 1,743 meters at the summit with a weatherproof summit cross and chapel - and the particularly beautiful view.

Hochwechsel

Highlight • Summit

At 1,743 meters, you can enjoy a wonderful view of the Wechsel area. Many hiking tours start from up here and there are other seasonally managed huts besides the Wetterkogelhaus directly at the summit. In the Wetterkogelhaus, you can not only strengthen yourself, but also stay in shared rooms and in the mattress camp. For e-bikes in the guest room five sockets are available for loading.

Hochweid Trail – The WU

Highlight • MTB Park

Absolutely recommendable and worth seeing! Magnificent views as far as Vienna are possible. The WU Trail is fantastic and cycling up it definitely pays off. I would assume good basic knowledge and the necessary equipment. Helmet 🪖 I count as minimum protection. Light protectors would also be recommended.

Kranichberger Schwaig

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The view of Rax, Sonnwendstein and Schneeberg is a hit. There is also fresh fruit whey and great cakes.

Feistritzsattel Mountain Hut

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The Feistritzsattel (1,286 meters) is a great starting point for your hikes. There is a small mountain house right next to the free car park. You can find the next overnight accommodation in Trattenbach (walking time about 45 minutes). But you can also ask your accommodation whether they will pick you up at the parking lot. It is best to clarify this beforehand, the cell phone reception on Feistritzsattel is poor or not available.
