On the way to the most beautiful view

Over hill and over dale - always towards the summit. There are countless ways to hike the mountain landscape around Lake Wolfgang. However, they all have one thing in common: the picturesque scenery, no matter from which sea level. The most brilliant view, however, is from the top of the Schafberg, from which you can count a total of 13 lakes on a clear day. If you're not so sure-footed or quickly lose stamina, you can bypass the climb, which takes at least three hours, by taking the Schafberg cable car. Now you're probably thinking, "Schafberg, everybody knows it!" Sure, after all, the striking mountain ridge is one of the best known in the region. But have you been to the top? If not, you should definitely put this summit climb on your climbing to-do list. You won't regret it! What else should be on this list?

We have put together a few hiking highlights for you, starting from your hotel Zimmerbräu.

From Hotel Zimmerbräu you first go to Ahornplatz, from there you will reach the fairytale-like Schwarzensee via the saddle. The trail is not particularly demanding and therefore suitable for all generations. Via the Wirersteig you then return to the starting point. In total, the walk takes about 3.5 hours, excluding a stop at "Zur Lore" in the Almstadl or in the Moosalm.

Compared to the Schafberg still rather an insider tip, the 330 meters lower Vormauerstein is inferior to its big brother by almost nothing. First you have to cross the Ahornplatz in the direction of Holzerbauer (possible refreshment stop), turn right at the parking lot there and then along the edge of the forest to the so-called "Zwergerlweg". The ascent takes about 4.5 hours and is steep and rocky. But at the top you will be rewarded with a magnificent view of Lake Wolfgang, Lake Attersee and the full glory of the Schafberg flank. At the end of the alpine pasture a private gravel road is located - the descent. Do not forget your snacks!
