Description
The starting point of the hike is the Gasthof Oberer Eggl in Prein an der Rax. The starting point can be reached by public transport and is a quarter to half an hour's walk from the center of Prein with the wellness and seminar hotel Raxalpenhof. You hike along a short stretch of country road towards Griesleiten, then continue along a quiet hiking trail through wooded areas to Preiner Gscheid. You are accompanied along the way by the Rettenbach stream and its tributaries.
At the Edelweißhütte, the terrace or guest garden invite you to relax in the open air. You can fortify yourself with home cooking, seasonal specialties, Austrian and Hungarian cuisine and homemade pastries. If you want, you can hike even further from here, as the Edelweißhütte is not only a popular meeting point for bikers but also a hiking hub. From here, you can hike to the Habsburghaus, for example, or start the popular hut hopping hike from here.
