A beautiful circular hike to Mamauwiese past the waterfall from the valley station of the Schneeberg chairlift in Losenheim.
Description
Mamauwiese is also the destination of this hike. The starting point is the valley station in Losenheim at the foot of the Schneeberg. At the Hotel Restaurant Forellenhof, at Lahning Inn or in the pizzeria Alpentaverne, you still have the chance to stop for a meal before heading uphill. You also pass by the Losenheim castle ruins. Wildly romantic and pleasantly cool in summer is the Sebastian waterfall. Then it goes through quiet forests over the Faden Graben up to the Mamauwiese, which is the starting point for numerous hiking trails. From here, you can comfortably return down into the valley after enjoying the view across to Schneeberg.
A stage of the Wiener Alpenbogen trail from Edelweißhütte at Schneeberg to Öhlerschutzhaus also runs over Mamauwiese.
Please consider the information on altitude meters, route length, and walking time when planning your hike so that the route remains a pleasant experience for the whole family.
