Hike over Scheimhitt'n to the Geländehütte (from Grünbach)

Description

The Gelände is a western spur of the Hohe Wand. The municipality of Grünbach am Schneeberg lies at the foot of the Gelände and is thus an ideal starting point for hikes up the mountain. You can also visit the mining museum here. You reach a parking lot via Wandstraße from which various hiking trails lead away. From here, for example, you can also go via a forest path to the Pension Seiser Toni. Our hike leads us up the forest road to our first stop, the Scheimhitt'n. At the Rastkreuzsattel at 876 meters elevation, the hut invites you not only to rest but also to celebrations and overnight stays. Hungry hikers strengthen themselves with game specialties from the house's own enclosure. To the east, you can hike up the Hohe Wand from here. In the opposite direction, it continues onto the Gelände. Either comfortably over the forest road or, as shown on the map, over a rocky path, you finally reach the Geländehütte at 1023 meters. A three-meter tall bear statue points here to the nearby bear cave. At the Geländehütte, diligent hikers can refresh themselves at weekends from Easter to December and enjoy the 360-degree panoramic view over the Schneeberg and the southern Vienna Basin to the Pannonian Plain.

The Gelände can also be approached from the north from Miesenbach or from the Hohe Wand via a variant of the North Alpine Trail.
