Route description Semmering Johannespromenade
The starting point of our hike is the Semmering Passhöhe at the valley station of the Semmering Hirschenkogel cable car. We follow the Johannespromenade, starting at the western end of the parking lots, for about three kilometers, flat into the Dürrgraben. From the brook crossing, the forest road leads us further into the valley, steadily uphill. At the second junction, we turn left (note: no marking!) and follow this forest road, which continues slightly ascending out of the valley. At the intersection with Sonnwendsteinstrasse, we continue straight downhill past the Enzianhütte to the starting point Passhöhe.
