Stay calmly on the path; the detour into the forest is not worth it.

If the visibility is perfect, the Dachstein with its glacier remains can be seen beautifully at the Lichtenberg junction to the left of the Schafberg

A detour here is fantastic, especially if you don't like hiking. You can easily drive up the mountain. Of course, it's much nicer by bike or on foot 😍. A little tip for winter: Be careful on the steps of the observation tower! Danger of slipping! Otherwise, it's perfect for a short evening trip 🫶🏼🩷

After a small ford through the Klausbach, a good forest road leads directly along the stream up to the MTB routes "Saurüssel-" and "Irrsee-Runde"
