Winter Hike in St. Kathrein/Offenegg
Closed
A wonderful hike above St. Katrein, which leads mainly along municipal roads that are cleared. The tour is therefore good to go even with more snow.
In summer, the "Garden of Eden Cycle Path" leads along this route, in winter it is also possible to hike here without snowshoes or sleds along the little-traveled municipal roads.
Immediately at the entrance to the village, the path leads up to the "Zeil", here beautiful views back to St. Kathrein and far out into the country await. The further path then leads along a beautiful forest path up to the district of Gschaid. Here a magnificent panorama opens up - from the Eibisberg over Schöckl and Rote Wand to the Sommeralm.
The rest of the way leads along the "Mühlental-Wanderweg" with its old mills and the horseshoe figures of "almart" back up to the "Zeil". Along the way, several establishments await hungry stopovers.
