Description

From the Wexl Arena parking lot, head downhill towards Unternberg. From the chapel directly on the road, follow the signposted path towards the pass chapel. From here, turn right towards Hottmansgraben (Aspang). This path soon divides, keeping right again towards the former Gasthaus Reithofer, where the Ungersböck family now runs the mountain cheese dairy. From Friday to Sunday there is farm-gate sales and a refreshment stop. From here you walk back along the same path for about 100 meters, but then do not turn right again, but follow the road to the forest, where a sign points the way to Unternberg, past the castle. The path leads back to the starting point.

Equipment Always take suitable maps with you. Wear sturdy shoes that are appropriate for the route. Take your mobile phone and save the mountain rescue emergency number: 140PreparationMake sure the route you choose matches your experience and fitness level. Check the weather forecast beforehand. Weather in the mountains can change suddenly and rapidly. Always set out accordingly equipped (e.g., rain protection).Check whether the inns you want to visit on the way are open.

Editor’s tip From Friday to Sunday, a visit to the mountain cheese dairy is highly recommended. Refresh yourself on site with many delicious specialties or take some home from the farm shop.Another place to stop is the Wexl Lounge. Please make sure to check the current opening hours before your hike.For a longer stay in Unternberg, a holiday on the farm with the Gruber family at the Ofnerhof or at the Dissauer farm with the Rosinger family is a good option.
