Description

The starting point of the hike is Trattenbach. In the village center you will find the municipal office and the Wittgenstein Museum, from where you head straight up the mountain to the Alpengasthof Kummerbauer. Part of the way is along the Wittgensteinweg trail via paths through the forest up to Schlaggraben. The Alpengasthof Kummerbauerstadl is located at 1100m between the Sonnwendstein, Otter and Wechsel area. Here you can enjoy a magnificent view of the Rax and Schneeberg. Parents can make themselves comfortable on the terrace while the children let off steam in the playground within sight. In winter, the Alpengasthof is a direct access point to the Wechsel panorama trail. In summer, hikes or Nordic walking tours to the Semmering, Sonnwendstein or Großer Otter are available. An easy circular hiking trail leads via the Morgenbesser family's mountain farm in the direction of Alpkogel and the former Schwarzenberghütte.

An alternative ascent route can be chosen from the popular pilgrimage site of Maria Schutz with a walking time of approx. 1 1/2 hours.
