Paths covering:
The start is at the Schleifsteinhauerhütten. From here, the trail leads through a small section of forest before reaching the moor, which is covered in licks. Here you have an overwhelming view over the moor to the mighty Gosaukamm. The trail leads us along the wooden footpath through the countryside, past the Löckensee lake. The circular trail is easy to walk and is also suitable for families with children. In the summer months, the Gosau slow train runs to the Schleifsteinhauerhütten huts every Tuesday and Sunday. Registration at the Gosau tourist information centre.

The Löckensee in Gosau was voted the most beautiful place in Upper Austria! And it is! But watch out! You really have to earn this view with a strenuous hike!
The Löckenmoos can be reached on foot from Gosau in 2 to 3 hours. There are various ascent options:
Mittertal: Schäffergasse leads up on the opposite side of Hotel Sommerhof. At the end of the road, at the edge of the forest, hiking trail 511 to Löckernmoos begins. IMPORTANT!!! You will find parking spaces right next to the main road - Hornspitz lift car park
Hintertal: Start at the Hintertal forest road. Then change to hiking trail 644, which will take you to Löckenmoos after 2 to 3 hours of walking.
The hiking trails lead beautifully through the forest on well-marked paths. Appropriate hiking equipment, such as good and sturdy footwear, is required.
The Gosau tourist office will be happy to help you organise a shuttle bus or the Gosau slow train to the whetstone quarries. You can also book a guided hike on the Löckensee circuit.
Please note that the lifts on offer cannot travel as far as Löckensee. There is still a half-hour walk uphill.
