Viewpoint in the midst of the Hohe Dirn hiking centerDirections:
From the fee-based parking lot, you either walk on the road or take a direct path across the alpine meadows to below the Anton Schosser Hut. Follow the signpost towards the summit, and halfway there you will reach the natur.Bank at the former site of "Blasl‘s panorama swing."Tip:
The onward path to the summit of Hohe Dirn is a must. From there, you can enjoy magnificent panoramic views of the Alpine foothills and the Mühlviertel. Afterwards, you cannot miss a rest at the Schosserhütte, where you can enjoy the culinary offerings with many homemade specialties on the sunny terrace.Additional information:

Welcome to the Anton Schosserhütte!
Dear mountain enthusiasts, hikers, and nature lovers! The Anton Schosserhütte was built in 1925 as a ski lodge and is located in the heart of the Upper Austrian Pre-Alps, on the edge of the Kalkalpen National Park at 1,158 meters above sea level
This Category I mountain hut has been managed by Claudia Breitenstein and Herbert Brem since June 2025; they’ll also take care of your culinary needs. Both cold and hot meals are available.
The A. Schosser Hut is a typical Pre-Alpine hut and is therefore open year-round.
See below for operating hours. However, drinks are always available in the shelter area outside of operating hours.
For more information, visit the hut’s website at https://www.schosserhuette.at/
In addition to the access routes from the train stations in Losenstein (Trail No. 467), Reichraming (Trail No. 35 / Connection No. 30), and Trattenbach (Trail No. 32 / Connection No. 33) the hut can also be reached by mountain bike from Molln (Hausbach and via Mösern), from Trattenbach (via Wendbach), from Reichraming (via Geißhanslniedern and Mösern), and from Losenstein (Hohe Dirn road).
The surrounding hiking area also offers a variety of alpine activities, ranging from hikes (to the peaks of Hohe Dirn, Sonnkogel, and Schneeberg) to ski touring.
For quick stopovers or as a child-friendly hike, the approach can be significantly shortened by taking the access road to the paid parking lots (https://www.steyr-nationalpark.at/aktivitaeten/sommer/wandern/gebuehrenparkplaetze.html) from Losenstein via the Hohe Dirn Road.
