Pollereshütte

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The Pollereshütte is located just before the summit of the Sonnwendstein. It is a very hospitable mountain hut. They have very good coffee and world-class curd cheese strudel with vanilla sauce. Here, too, you can enjoy the beautiful view with a cup of coffee. My dogs were welcome. In summer there are grazing cattle in the vicinity of the hut, which occasionally camps directly on the path. I had enough space to evade, my dogs were good and the cattle seemed very relaxed. I will be happy to come again!

Sonnwendstein Mountain Hut and Viewpoint

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The Sonnwendstein mountain hut is located directly below the summit and offers hikers a cozy place to stop for a bite to eat, serving traditional cuisine. From the terrace and the nearby summit, an impressive panorama opens up over the Vienna Basin, the Rax Mountains, the Schneeberg, and far into Styria. It's a perfect place to rest after the climb and fully enjoy the magnificent view.

Sonnwendstein Chapel

Highlight • Religious Site

The chapel at Sonnwendstein stands picturesquely right next to the summit cross, lending the highest point of the tour a special atmosphere. Surrounded by mountain meadows and offering breathtaking views of the Vienna Basin, the Rax Mountains, and the Schneeberg, it is a tranquil place to pause for a moment. Many hikers use the small chapel for a short rest before starting their return journey or to enjoy the view for a while longer.

Hochalm Trail Between Hirschenkogel and Erzkogel

Highlight • Trail

The Hochalmweg (High Alpine Trail) between Hirschenkogel and Erzkogel runs along a gentle ridge and offers a particularly panoramic passage. Open meadows alternate with sparse forest sections, while magnificent views of the surrounding mountains and valleys repeatedly open up. This section exudes a true alpine atmosphere, making the connection between the two peaks a scenic highlight of the tour.
