Description

From the Steyersberger Schwaig, the route climbs up to the Arabichl at 1595m, from where there is a wonderful panoramic view. The route then continues to the Feistritzer Schwaig. Here you can experience the alpine idyll of the Schwaigen am Wechsel in the truest sense of the word. Hospitality and coziness invite you to linger. For refreshments, there is home cooking in the parlor, in the sheltered arbor or on the terrace with a view of the Hochwechsel.

Continue to the Kranichberger Schwaig. From there you can enjoy a wonderful view of the Rax and Schneeberg. The hut is open from May to September and offers organic snacks and home-smoked bacon, for example.

The hike does not require an above-average level of fitness and is therefore also suitable for families. However, there are numerous hiking trails leading to and from the Kranichberger Schwaig, e.g. you can also reach the hut via the Feistritzsattel. This route is on the stage of the trail along the Wiener Alpenbogen - Arc of the Viennese Alps (trail) from Mönichkirchen to the Feistritzsattel. Another trail starts from Kirchberg am Wechsel on a regional route of the Wiener Alpenbogen - Arc of the Viennese Alps (trail) trail.
