Description
This hike takes a little longer and requires a good level of fitness. It is a mostly easy hiking trail with a steep ascent to the Schoberberg. You can reach the starting point Edelweisshütte comfortably by chairlift or on foot in around an hour along the yellow markings via Tut Gut Route 1. When planning your route, you should take into account the opening times of the Schneeberg chairlift. The Tut Gut Route leads via Dürre Leitn to Mamauwiese (inn closed). Continue to the Schober Chapel and over the summits of Schober (1213m) and Öhler (1183m) to the Öhlerschutzhaus. At the Öhler you can enjoy a wonderful view of the Mariahilfberg. Here you can rest again and fortify yourself for the descent. If you want to hike further, you can do so on the trail along the Wiener Alpenbogen - Arc of the Viennese Alps (trail) on the stage from Öhlerschutzhaus to Pernitz.
