Mountain hike with a wonderful view of the Traunstein and the Almtal

Hiking trails (trail no. 10) and forest roads take you to Jagdhaus Schrattenau (981m). The well-marked trail continues on the forest road for around 100m southwards to a gravel pit. Immediately afterwards, turn right off the forest road. However, you can also cut off the forest road just behind the hunting lodge on a marked hiking trail.
