Waterfall – Mamauwiese Puchberg am Schneeberg

Hiking

This superb loop begins at the chairlift valley station at the foot of the Schneeberg in Losenheim. The trail leads past the ruins of Losenheim Castle and before long you’ll reach the wildly romantic Sebastian waterfall – a gloriously refreshing place especially in summer.

The trail continues along the Fadengraben stream through peaceful forests up to the Mamauwiese, offering magnificent views of the Schneeberg. The return route follows the red trail back to Losenheim and the chairlift station.

The Schneeberg valley station is easy to access by public transport or car. Before the ascent, there are refreshment options at the Hotel Restaurant Forellenhof, the Lahning Inn, or the Pizzeria Alpentaverne.

Sebastian waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

It is fed by the Sebastianbach stream, which originates in the Mamauwiese meadow near the Sebastianhütte and then flows towards Puchberg am Schneeberg. The waterfall is not only a tourist attraction but also serves as a sporting venue. The rocky slope is used for climbing and ice climbing. Parking is available at the lower end, and from there, it takes about 15 minutes to reach the waterfall.

Mamauwiese mountain inn

Highlight • Natural Monument

Delicious food and good drinks in a cozy atmosphere, or even overnight accommodation—all of this is available here. On weekends, many hikers come, so you might not be able to find a spot. The covered terrace is new. mamauwiese.at

Beautiful shimmering green pond next to the valley station of the chairlift up to the Edelweisshütte. The pond is cordoned off by a wooden fence.

My circular hiking trail started today in Losenheim and led past the Maumauwiese to the Sebastianfall and back again. Today I finally found the geocache at the waterfall. I've looked there several times but never found it.

Mamauwiese-Sebastianfall partially difficult to walk (very steep and rocky)

Sunshine is the order of the day this weekend, so I was drawn to the mountains today. I wanted to make the ascent easier for myself, so I took the Schneeberg chairlift and just got down. It was a fantastically beautiful day. There were tons of butterflies and rams to see and watch. Something was always fluttering around me. On this patch of earth the world still seems to be in order. I spent most of the time in the forest, so the heat was bearable. I only had to walk the last stretch in the blazing sun. The chairlift and the parking lot are free with the NÖ-Card. The Losenheim castle ruins can only be visited in a group of at least 6 people and by prior arrangement. www.burgruine-losenheim.at

Wonderful tour in the old homeland. Nice to be home again. We went up with the chairlift. And then went down, so please do not take into account the altitude information is about 200 meters. Sure-footed and good shoes are a must. Unfortunately, only the Almreselhütte was open with us. But it was delicious to eat there.

Actually, the Schneebergbahn was planned and booked. But: switch failure! All trips to the Schneeberg were cancelled for about a week. In addition to the refund, there was also a free ride on the Schneeberg chairlift. So, off we went. At the top, first, over a beer, I familiarised myself on Komoot with what I could do and which hiking trails were available. Over the Fadensteig to the Fischerhütte? I can remember the last time I had sore muscles and am currently less fit than I was then, so it was cancelled. And voila - I found this route and thought it was great! The day was saved. Great waterfall!

Spring on Schneeberg From the parking lot at the Wasserfallwirt. Sebastian Waterfall and walk through marked on the summit of Dürren Leiten. In front of the Almreserlhaus down to the left and continue to be marked back to the start. There is still no sign of spring here.
