You can reach the starting point comfortably by chairlift or on foot in around an hour along the yellow markings on Tut Gut Route 1. When planning your route, you should take into account the opening times of the Schneeberg chairlift. At the top of the Edelweisshütte you have a view from the terraces that extends down into the valley to Puchberg and as far as Lake Neusiedl. Here you can rest and indulge in culinary delights.
