View of Mondsee

Highlight • Viewpoint

Wherever you can see the lakes from the Schafberg, the hiker's heart will be delighted. The blue sky, the grandiose mountain landscape with its numerous, crenellated peaks, describe the whole charm of mountain hiking.

Heaven's Gate (Schafberg)

Highlight • Natural Monument

After the somewhat more strenuous ascent, of course, the view is tough! When the weather is clear, you really have a good view of every surrounding lake and the breathtaking area.

Schafberg Summit and Panoramic Viewpoint

Highlight • Summit

The view from the Schafberg is simply phenomenal. The 360-degree panorama shows the Salzkammergut and its lakes from their most beautiful side. In nice, clear weather, the view even extends to Lake Chiemsee, the Bohemian Forest, the Dachstein and the Hohe Tauern. The climb was definitely worth it.

Kienberghütte and Eisenaueralm (1,003 meters)

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Not far from the Buchberg hut, the Kienberg hut on the Eisenaueralm also shows its idyllic side. Cows graze the meadows, cyclists and hikers arrive exhausted but happy and look forward to the deserved stop. Especially the Jausenplatte is recommended!
