Weather route

Your routes in the Vienna Alps should be an all-round beautiful and safe experience. Therefore, please note the following:

Preparation

When choosing a route, make sure it suits your experience and condition. Check the weather forecast in advance. The weather can change surprisingly quickly in the mountains. Therefore, always set off equipped accordingly (e.g. rain protection).

Check whether the inns and snack stations you want to visit on the way are open. Inform someone about your choice of route and your planned return before you set off.

Always take suitable maps with you. Wear sturdy shoes and a helmet suitable for the tour, take sun and rain protection as well as water and a snack with you. Take your mobile phone with you and save the emergency number of the rescue service: 144

Start of the route at Inn Posch. Head towards the end of the village, then turn left towards Spratzeck at the fork in the road. Go straight on here, follow the signposted route, pass through Rotte Spratzeck and then turn left at the next junction. Then there is another junction, this time turn right. A short distance along the road, turn right at the first opportunity; from here, the road leads through the forest/along the edge of the forest. You will then come to the district of Gleichenbach, through the village and turn right at the crossroads, out of the village and then continue straight on. After a long left-hand bend you will come to the Obereck district, keep left there at the crossroads.  The route continues, always straight ahead, a little way along the Spratzbach stream. When you reach the district of Blumau, you will see a large sawmill; turn left there. Straight on until you reach the intersection from which you came before, turn left and this time go straight on. Keep straight until you come to a fork, keep right there and return to the village of Hollenthon.
