Description:
This hike offers unique views to the south towards the Dürrensteinkamm with Almkogel, into the Sengsengebirge, and the Kalkalpen National Park.Directions:
From the town center, head east past Seyerlehner farm, then climb uphill on an asphalt road past the farmhouses Weger and Kleinseibelstein. After the latter, turn left and reach the farmhouse Großkrift via an idyllic hunter's trail. Afterwards, moderately ascend along the ridge to the alpine pasture. Just below is the Natur.Bank with a beautiful view of the southern mountain landscape.Tip:
The short ascent to the alpine pasture is definitely worth it. Here the view opens to the east towards Ötscher, Hochkar, and Sonntagberg, and to the north you can see far into the Mühlviertel. There are ice-cold drinks at the alpine pasture, even if the hut is closed.
