Hut hopping on the Raxalpe (Variant 3)

Your hikes in the Vienna Alps should be a completely beautiful and safe experience. Please therefore observe the following:

Make sure that the chosen route matches your mountain experience and fitness level. Check the weather forecast in advance. The weather in the mountains can change surprisingly quickly. Therefore always start properly equipped (e.g. rain gear).

Check if the huts and snack stations you want to visit are open. Inform someone about your chosen route and planned return time before you set off.

In fog and strong wind, hiking on the high plateau is not recommended!

Always take suitable maps with you. Wear sturdy shoes suitable for the route, take sun and rain protection, as well as water and a snack. Take your mobile phone with you and save the emergency number of the mountain rescue: 140

We start the hike at Preiner Gscheid. Past the Karl-Ludwig-Haus, continue up to the Habsburghaus. From there, head south over the Trinksteinsattel. From the new Seehütte, we hike down the Göbl-Kühn-Steig to Waxriegelhaus. The last section takes us back to Preiner Gscheid along the forest road. Please do not cross the "old ski slope" or walk off-trail. Due to erosion damage, this section needs to recover.

Parking is available at Preiner Gscheid.

• Take the train to Payerbach-Reichenau station.
• Then take the Regional Bus 342 from Payerbach-Reichenau station to Preiner Gescheid or book a ride with the RUFbus Semmering-Rax (stop 132)
