Itinerary
Arrival in Fuschl
Step by step you climb to the ruin ‚Wartenfels’ with beautiful views of the lakes Mondsee and Irrsee. If you want, you can also climb the Schober peak. From here, you get a magnificent panoramic view of the lakes and mountains in the Salzkammergut region.
In the morning you go by bus to Unterach at lake Attersee. From there you follow the lakeside walk and through the Burggrabenklamm up to alpine pastures to idyllic lake Schwarzensee. Stop for some homemade pastries at Lore’s cabin on the lake. Continue downhill to lake Wolfgangsee.
Take the bus to the start of the hike in Bad Ischl. Along the historic brine pipeline trail you walk into Rettenbach valley and up to alpine pasture Blaa alp at the foot of the Loser massif into the Ausseerland.

Take the cable car up the Salzberg, where the famous Skywalk viewing point with its breathtaking views beckons. Past the salt mine and up to the alpine pastures. Continue across the plateau to Löckermoos. The Bibelschmugglerweg trail leads you down to Lake Gosau, in whose waters the mighty Dachstein glacier is reflected. It's worth stopping for a bite to eat on the shore before taking the bus into the Gosau Valley.
