Gentle trails start in the valley, routes with stunning views lead upwards, and in between lie forests, plateaus and passes. Some tours are short and nearby, others demand time, stamina and elevation gain. Those out and about here move through varied landscapes without having to constantly change location.
Many hikes in the Schneeberg region start where the train and bus arrive. Places such as Puchberg am Schneeberg or the Piesting Valley are easily accessible by public transport, making it possible to go on hikes without a car. This allows for flexible routes with different starting and finishing points, making the experience more relaxed right from the start.
Hiking in the Schneebergland region also means stopping for a bite to eat. Huts and inns aren’t just along the way; they’re often a destination in their own right or well worth a short detour. They serve regional cuisine and traditional specialities that make it easy to linger – sometimes longer than planned.
