Trail Reviews
In wonderful weather it was by car to the station of the Mariazellerbahn Wienerbruck-Josefsberg and by train 2 stations to Mitterbach am Erlaufsee. Here the hike to the valley station of the lift began and without any effort it went to the summit of the Gemeindealpe. After a short visit to the summit cross, we went downhill to the Halter hut where we strengthened ourselves for the steep descent to come. It then went down to the Greimelbach and on over the Ötschergräben back to Wienerbruck. We were able to enjoy wonderful views and also a cool bath in a washed-out part of the stream. Very nice hike - great!
