From there, the trail heads south, initially climbing gently along a forest road above a gravel pit. The route continues past the **source of the Aurach**, winding through a forested area via numerous small switchbacks to **the Aurachkar** and the **Antoniusbründl**, which is a great spot to take a break. The trail then continues uphill in switchbacks through the cirque. After a steep section, the route turns right. Here, you have the option to take **Trail No. 827** up to the **Hochleckenkogel**. The trail to **the Hochleckenhaus** leads to the right toward the rocky summit of **the Jausenstein**. After a hollow, a steep ascent follows, before the route finally leads across open terrain to the Hochleckenhaus. Sure-footedness is required on this section. **Refreshments:** [Hochleckenhaus](http://hochleckenhaus.at/) is open from Easter through the end of October and offers overnight accommodations [ Tour and route information ](#ttgCollapseTourdetails) --------------------------------------------------------- **Starting place:** 4853 Steinbach am Attersee **Destination:** 4853 Steinbach am Attersee **duration:** 3h 30m **length:** 7,5 km **Altitude difference (uphill):** 982m **Altitude difference (downhill):** 872m **Lowest point:** 621m **Highest point:** 1.574m **difficulty:** difficult **condition:** difficult **panoramic view:** Great panorama **Paths covering:** Gravel, Hiking trail **further information:** - Possible accommodation - Board possible [ ![Altitude profile Hochlecken from Lake Taferklause](//static.et4.de/ElevationProfileChart/Go.ashx?Experience=hoehenprofil-meta&Server=meta.tourdata.at&AddElevations=true&AddOfftrackWaypoints=false&AddSurfaces=true&AddWaypoints=false&globalid=tourdata_tour_100038&width=355&height=250&FontSize=12&mkt=en) ![Altitude profile Hochlecken from Lake Taferklause](//static.et4.de/ElevationProfileChart/Go.ashx?Experience=hoehenprofil-meta&Server=meta.tourdata.at&AddElevations=true&AddOfftrackWaypoints=false&AddSurfaces=true&AddWaypoints=false&globalid=tourdata_tour_100038&width=450&height=350&mkt=en) ](#ttgHoehenprofilModal "Hochlecken from Lake Taferklause") [ Arrival ](#ttgCollapseAnreise) ---------------------------------- **Parking**- Parking space: 10 [ Suitability ](#ttgCollapseEignung) -------------------------------------- - Suitable for teenagers - Suitable for single travelers - Suitable for friends - Suitable for couples **Most economical season**- Spring - Summer - Autumn [ Accessibility ](#ttgCollapseBarrierefreiheit) ------------------------------------------------- Please get in touch for more information.
