Hiking

The Zwergerlweg trail to Vormauerstein leads you through charming St. Wolfgang, across meadows and dense forests, high up to one of the most beautiful peaks in the Salzkammergut. The hike takes a whole day and requires an average level of fitness. However, if you want to climb to the summit,…

View of the Schafberg

Highlight • Viewpoint

From here, you'll enjoy a fantastic view of the Spinnerin, a subsidiary peak of the Schafberg. The steep, towering rock face immediately catches your eye. There's no summit cross here—only loose stones mark the highest point.

June 12, 2025,Über Sommeraualm um den Vormauerstein

We set off at 5:45 a.m., which was good because it was going to be quite warm today. After three days of stomach problems, I wasn't exactly in the best shape.
The very rocky and rooty uphill path (I like it that way) was really strenuous at this time of day, but it was rewarded with a wonderful view of …

May 4, 2023,Wanderung zum Vormauerstein von der Jausenstation Holzerbauer

Starting point: chargeable car park at the Holzerbauer snack bar, costs: €2

Up it goes over the mostly shady and wooded hiking trail, over the Alm, the dwarf path with funny sayings, past small springs and many benches.

Almost at the top you reach the Vormaueralm, which is very spacious. After a last short ascent (20min) you reach the summit, …

We start at the Holzerbauer car park and hike, quickly gaining altitude, across meadows and then into the forest along the forest road. Time and again, we can enjoy the panoramic view of Lake Wolfgangsee. The constantly ascending path is strenuous, but the beautiful weather and magnificent view make it great fun. Shortly before our first destination, the Vormauerstein, we …

May 20, 2025,Wanderung zum Mönichsee

Lake Mönich lies at an altitude of 1,300 meters between Schafberg and Vormauer.
We started from the parking lot near the tunnel in Sankt Wolfgang.
Past the Holzerbauer, we climbed through the Zwergerlwald forest to the Sommeraueralm.
The trail was dry, and the forest provided pleasant shade. We continued up to the Vormaueralm, where you can already see the striking …
