Short but challenging hike that was really accessible from the city! Beautiful views, especially from the top.
It was a nice hike, especially through the gorge. About 1/3 of the hike is on a wide forest road, 2/3 on a well marked pathway. The information desk in Scharnitz was very helpful and provide free maps and recommendations for the hike.
This is one of the best hikes I've been on. There is a cable car to the peak, but I strongly suggest completing the hike. It is steep, but well marked. You'll start in Hungerberg and walk through a forested area for awhile. Afterwards you'll enter into a more rocky/mountainous area that takes you to the top. The views at the top are well worth the work.
Short but challenging, rewarding and well maintained. Hike directly up the mountain. What a view!
Very interesting.
Nothing special. Good view on top only...
We walked more than this trail- and it was so rewarding!
From Mirabellplatz bus stop we took Bus 150 to he Volksschule Gnigl stop. From there we walked through the park, took a left on the street Eichstrabe, and continued up the steps about 100 meters down the street on the right. What followed was a steep, incredibly rewarding hike through the forest (follow the signs for Gaisburg). Bring lots of water! You can also take the bus back down from the top. Check the poster at the bus stop at the summit to check the bus times (they're usually about an hour apart). Enjoy the wildflowers, a beautiful view, and a good workout!
7 of us walked from Salzburg to the trail head and made the journey up the mountain! Cloud cover made the views a little underwhelming, but the hike itself was extremely enjoyable. There was a long section through a riverbed with small wooden stairs and river crossings that were a lot of fun. Take your time and enjoy the beautiful forest!
