Grafenbergweg to Hohe Wand

Highlight • Trail

Comfortable climb to the Hohe Wand. Again and again you can see chamois. Promising Platzerl to rest are also available. And once "arrived at the top" there's 1000 + 1 way to go for a walk.

Scheimhitt'n (Scheimhütte) on the Hohe Wand

Highlight • Mountain Hut

In the summer of 2014, the Scheimhütte - also Scheimhitt'n - called, newly built. Although I did not know the hut in front of it, I am enthusiastic about the new one. In two dining rooms, the very nice innkeepers feed the hungry hikers with Austrian specialties. We were not over night. But if you are on the high wall for a longer time, you can also descend here. Highly recommended!

Opening hours:
Year round from Wednesday to Sunday

Gelände Hut

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The three-meter bear statue is not for the purpose of keeping watch in front of the field hut, but as an indication of the nearby Bear Cave, which owes its name to numerous finds of cave bear bones. However, it is not the only reason for the climb to the 1,023-meter-high "terrain" at the western end of the Hohe Wand. The self-made must of the Postl family should be mentioned as well as the 360-degree panoramic view over the southern Vienna basin to the Pannonian lowlands.
Opening Hours: from Easter - June 30th and August 16th - November 30th each Saturday, Sunday and public holiday
Overnight (beds / bins): Overnight only for groups with about 15 people possible.
