The Schafberg can also be climbed from Unterach. Start at the bridge in the Mühlleiten district. Follow the forest path and turn left at the next junction. About 20 minutes later, you cross the forest road. You then hike along numerous hairpin bends to the Eisenaueralm. This is located at an altitude of around 1000 metres. The catered Buchberghütte is on the right. Behind the hut, a path on the right leads up to the forest. After around 45 minutes, you will finally reach the saddle at the picturesque Suissensee lake. Keep left there and hike along the Purtschellersteig trail to the Schafberg lakes. Now it's not far to the Schafberg summit. Here, at an altitude of 1782 metres, you can enjoy a magnificent view of Lake Attersee and fortify yourself for the descent in the Himmelspforthütte hut.
