Kreuzstein - Eisenau Alp - Schafberg

One of many ways to conquer the Schafberg!

Caution - alpine experience required from Eisenau-Alm!

We park at the car park of the public state bathing area. In the water we see a stone with two crosses after which the area here is named "Kreuzstein" . From there, the trail climbs steeply into the forest, where the Waterfall Kreuzstein awaits us as the first highlight after 10 minutes. Continuing up through the forest over several streams and a spectacular bridge construction with well-secured ladders, we reach a hunting lodge with a fantastic view over Lake Mondsee. From here, it is only a few minutes until we reach the Eisenauer Alm. This route is also suitable for children and is a unique experience.
At Eisenau, turn right across alpine meadows and back into the forest. This is followed by a steep ascent to Suissensee. Once at the top, turn right and continue under the Schafberg summit. The last section is the so-called Himmelspforte - it gets a little tricky here. The steep and rocky path is very demanding for hikers and should only be tackled in dry conditions.
The Schafberg awaits us with a fantastic view!
