Brief description

Rohr im Gebirge - Kalte Kuchl/Kleinzell - Tiefental - Hochreit - St. Aegyd am Neuwalde

Description

A simple hiking trail leads from Rohr im Gebirge to Kalte Kuchl in Kleinzell with the Alpine guesthouse Rieder (01:45 h). Caution: in good weather many motorcyclists are on the road there! From now on a hike begins in a scenically beautiful but very secluded area without the possibility to stop for food or drink. From Kalte Kuchl you reach the lonely valleys of the Green and Dry Schwarza with slight elevation changes via Werasöd (01:30 h). From Tiefental, the route goes through the Finstergrundgraben to the first slightly hilly uphill section of this stage, past a saddle with a view of the high-lying neo-Baroque castle Hochreit built by Wittgenstein in 1888 into the Traisen Valley (01:30 h). Via the Hochreit farm in the Mitterbach district you come to the Seebach valley. From the Mosbach farm you take the local road to St. Aegyd, pass the train station and soon reach the center of St. Aegyd (02:30 h).
