Unterberg Summit (summit cross)

Highlight • Summit

At 1,342 meters, the Unterberg in Lower Austria is one of the highest peaks in the Gutenstein Alps. It is located at the western end of the Piestingtal, also affectionately known as the Biedermeier Valley, and is not only a popular excursion destination during the snow-free season. In winter, the natural ski area provides skiing and skiing fun. And what is not recognizable: The Unterberg has always been accompanied by legendary stories and tales.

Reserlhütte and Memorial Stone

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The Reserlhütte - Memorial Stoa is a hiking highlight in the Gutenstein Alps in Lower Austria. It is a mountain rescue service hut and a memorial stone for the deceased mountain rescuers. The hut is not far from the Unterberg refuge, which is a popular destination for hikers and skiers. The Unterberg is the highest peak in the Gutenstein Alps and offers beautiful views of the surrounding landscape.
The Reserlhütte - Memorial Stoa can be reached from different sides, for example from Muggendorf or Oberdörfl. The path leads through beautiful forests, meadows and rocks. The total walking time is between 3 and 5 hours, depending on the route.

Unterberg Mountain Hut

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Weißwurst with mustard and pretzel is not only popular in Bavaria: at the mountain hut (1,190m), about 150 meters below the summit of the Unterberg, it is also the clear favorite of guests. Among them are, in addition to hikers and ski tourers, pilgrims on their way to Mariazell. The adjacent alpine meadows and the playground also make the mountain hut a popular family destination; from Rohr im Gebirge (parking at the former inn in Gries) it takes 1.5 or 2 hours, and from Muggendorf via the Enziansteig in 3 hours.

The concessionaire team goes to great lengths for its guests.

Also worth recommending in summer.

Maria Einsiedl Pilgrimage Chapel (Maria im Thier)

Highlight • Religious Site

The small pilgrimage chapel Maria Einsiedl (Maria im Thier) is located near the Unterberg mountain hut and is absolutely beautiful and well worth seeing.

The stone-operated door mechanism is interesting. 😊

It had to be the Unterberg today because of its large alpine meadows where the sun comes in beautifully.

From the Grießhof up to the Blochboden and the Unterberghaus for a snack.

On the way down we saw a mushroom tree for the first time. So many different mushrooms on an old tree stump. Hammer.

Much better - great panorama! - as the ascent (and descent) on the signposted normal route through the ditch. It's ok for a quick descent.

After a long time, we went hiking again. It was nice. The weather was nice. The nature was nice. The view was nice. Everything was nice. The food in the shelter with the new tenants was not so nice.

One of my favorite tours. For me, first I sweat it all out for a good 50 minutes, then I enjoy the wonderful alpine meadow.

We have been there many times, but we have never seen so many flowers, herbs and plants.

That's why we didn't walk through the beautiful high meadow, but rather walked around a bit.
