If you are looking for peace, relaxation and unspoiled nature, Schrattenbach is the place to be. The small municipality with the district of Rosental is located near Grünbach am Schneeberg and can also be reached via the Johannesbachklamm gorge from Würflach. The municipal area includes many beautiful forests. Numerous hikes are possible on leisurely paths, such as the Hubertusrunde. It leads past the Hubertus Chapel, which is an idyllic resting place in a romantic forest clearing. Along the way, you will also pass beautiful vantage points with views over the green meadows and forests and of the nearby Hohe Wand. Back down in Schrattenbach, with a bit of luck you can watch the deer in the large deer enclosure. The Gasthaus zum alten Schlossteich inn, where there is also an adventure playground for children, is the perfect place to stop for refreshments. The Schrattenstein ruins are also easy to reach from here.
Your hikes in the Vienna Alps should be a thoroughly beautiful and safe experience. Please therefore note the following:
Preparation
Make sure the chosen route matches your experience and your fitness. Check the weather forecast beforehand. Weather can surprisingly change quickly in the mountains. Therefore always set off adequately equipped (e.g., rain protection).
Check whether the huts and snack stations you want to visit on the way are open. Inform someone about your chosen route and planned return before setting off.
Always take suitable maps with you. Put on sturdy shoes adapted to the route, take sun and rain protection as well as water and a small snack. Take your mobile phone with you and save the mountain rescue emergency number: 140
Since it is a circular route, it can be walked in both directions; this description refers to the start towards Rosental:
At our starting point at the transformer station, we find an information board. We walk along the road past the sports field and over a bridge to Rosental. In the village, we turn left and cross the bridge, then pass the municipal office. A street leads uphill to the left towards Gutenmann. Here we turn in and continue left on the forest path by the wayside shrine. We follow the path to the Hubertus Chapel. From the chapel, we go back a short distance to the path we came from and turn right onto a hiking trail. This leads us downhill back onto the road to the wildlife enclosure. We keep left and pass a playground on the way to the inn Zum alten Schlossteich. From here, it's only a few meters straight ahead to the starting point.
