#8 - Schober and Wartenfels Castle Ruins
Thalgau, Salzburg, AustriaLength: 1.7 mi • Est. 1 h 27 m
A demanding but very worthwhile hike that leads to Fuchs' local mountain. At the summit you will be rewarded with magnificent views of the lakes of the Salzkammergut. If you don't want to go the circular route, you can also go back the same way, because you have ascended. The hike starts at the parking lot of the forester's house in Wartenfels. First you hike uphill through the forest to the Wartenfels ruins, where you already have a wonderful view of the Fuschlsee and the Salzburg region. Up to this point the route is also suitable for children. Afterwards the path becomes more difficult, although some short places are secured with ropes and equipped with iron steps.
