    Description

    The Gahns is a foothill of the Schneeberg, the highest mountain in Lower Austria. The Pottschacher hut is located here at an altitude of 914 meters. From Prigglitz, it takes around an hour to reach the hut via forest paths, and those who hike via Gasteil can admire the outdoor art exhibition at Gut Gasteil along the way. At the top of the hut, hungry hikers can look forward to seasonal specialties such as mushroom dishes or fresh game and vegetarian dishes, as well as delicious fruit juices from an organic farmer in Prigglitz.

    If you arrive by train, you can start your hike from Pottschach station via Holzweg via Buchbach, Tannschach and Gasteil or from Gloggnitz station via Stuppach, Saloder and Gasteil as well as via Rehgraben. The walking time here is 2-3 hours.

    Mountain bikers also appreciate the Pottschacher Hut and can reach it via the Kapellenrunde and the Silbersberg route.
