The Hallerhaus, located at 1350 meters above sea level, is near the Mönichkirchen mountain station and is easily accessible on foot or in combination with a chairlift ride.
Description
The ascent to the Hallerhaus starts from the Erlebnisalm Mönichkirchen. Depending on how long and far you want to go, you either take the "Sonnenbahn" up to the Mönichkirchner Schwaig or hike on foot via the thematic trail Lebenswasser to the mountain station. There you find several places to eat and stay overnight, as well as playgrounds for children. A short detour to the Alpenhotel Enzian or the mountain inn Mönichkirchner Schwaig before continuing. A little off the beaten path through quiet forests you reach the Hallerhaus. Founded in 1910, the mountain hut has been renovated several times since opening and is now popular with skiers in winter and hikers in summer due to its easy accessibility. You must not miss the Blunzng'röstl with homemade blood sausages!
From Mönichkirchen, a stage of the Weg am Wiener Alpenbogen to Feistritzsattel also starts, passing by the Hallerhaus.

Route description Winter hiking to the Hallerhaus (from Mönichkirchen)
From the valley station of the Erlebnisalm Mönichkirchen, we follow a path along the lift to the mountain station. Right at the mountain station, we see the mountain inn Mönichkirchner Schwaig and also the Alpenhotel Enzian. We go past them on the left and see the Hallerhaus sign in front of the trees. Continue to keep left and follow the path. At the fork in the path, we go straight up the somewhat steep slope. We are on the first level, about halfway through the hike. At the next fork, we keep right again. We follow the path towards the next group of trees.
At the front tip of the group of trees, there is a signpost with signs "Loipe" and "Hallerhaus". We follow the path. We come to a wide path surrounded by fields and forest. After a few meters in this piece of forest, we have already reached our destination.
