Schönbachweg up to the Gahberg

With a view of the lake in the Salzkammergut mountains in Upper Austria: a leisurely hike leads from Schörfling am Attersee along the Schönbachweg, a well-maintained forest path that winds through the wooded hills west of the lake, to the Gahberg, which offers a magnificent view of Lake Attersee.

The starting point of the hike is the former Freund department store in Oberhehenfeld.

From there, follow the road for about 100 m until you reach the Schönbach bridge. The route now meanders along the Sickingerbach stream in a southerly direction. After a while, the trail climbs slightly and you finally hike up on the forest road through wooded area to the Schlossberg.

From there you continue towards Gahberg, which is to the west. From there it is now not far until you reach the Gahberg. There you will be rewarded with a magnificent view of the Attersee. After an extensive break, you hike back to the starting point on the same path.

If you want to go a little further, you can walk back to Oberhehenfeld via the 715 m high Häfelberg.

There are no refreshment stops along the way, but in the village of Schörfling a wide range of restaurants surrounds you after the hike.
