Paths covering:
This is one stage of the Long Distance Hike in the Salzkammergut Lake District. It leads from the centre of Mondsee over the peaks of the Schober and Frauenkopf mountains to Fuschl am See. Here again luggage transportation is offered. Please note that when conditions are wet, the Schober and Frauenkopf route can be dangerous. Should this be the case, then please shorten your tour at the Gasthof Wartenfels and take the direct path down to Fuschl am See.
After a rest one can climb to the Wartenfels ruins, a former strong-hold with expansive views towards Salzburg. Return to the Gasthof Wartenfels for the start of the tour to the summit of the Schober. The hike leads serpentine uphill with lovely views of Lake Fuschl en route. Please be careful by wet weather as the climb is very exacting. In the upper part of the ascent there is a wire hawser to hold-on-to for your safety.
From the summit one has a fantastic view of seven lakes. The descent begins left of the shelter hut beneath the ridge. After a short while one has the possibility to climb to the neighbouring peak of the Frauenkopf. Here too you will have expansive views of Lake Fuschl and the mountain range of the Osterhorn group.
The descent from the Frauenkopf is also a stoney path, partly over gravel fields – please be careful – until you join the hiking path back to Fuschl am See. If in need of refreshment, turn back to Gasthof Wartenfels.
The route back to Fuschl passes through a typical mixed forest until one arrives at the golf course of Hotel Ebner´s Waldhof where the landscape opens up again. Now it is not far to Lake Fuschl. Take the opportunity to swim in the crystal clear waters of Lake Fuschl at the Fuschlsee bathing beach.
