Gössenberg: Hikes to Lakes and Scheibleck

When planning a trip to Gössenberg, a striking panoramic setting and specific hiking destinations go hand in hand. Klausnerhof is in a panoramic location, with views across the entire Enns Valley and of the Dachstein massif. Destinations include Scheibleck, the Styrian Lake (Steirischer Bodensee), and Hans-Wödl-Hütte by Lake Hüttensee.

Altitude and the hike to Scheibleck

Klausnerhof is at an altitude of 1,050 m. The Gössenberg–Pleschnitzzinken–Ochsenkarhöhe–Scheibleck hike reaches Scheibleck at 2,117 m. These altitude figures refer to different points: the location of the farm and the hike’s destination. The route can be reached from the B320 via Gössenberg or the Seewigtal, followed by the toll road to Loipoldhof. Road and toll conditions can change. Check access for your intended visit before planning this route.

Styrian Lake and Seewigtal

The Five-Mountains Tour | 310 passes through Gössenberg into the Seewigtal and on to the Styrian Lake. The lake can also be reached from Aich via Gössenberg. For planning purposes, these are two specific points of reference: the route of a tour and access to the lake. The Styrian Lake can also be circumnavigated in winter; snow and ice may affect walkability. If you are considering the winter circuit, check conditions for your intended visit.

Trail No. 782 leads from the far end of the Styrian Lake, past a waterfall, to Hans-Wödl-Hütte by Lake Hüttensee. The car park in the Seewigtal is the starting point for the hike to the hut; it can be reached via Aich/Gössenberg. Lakes Hüttensee and Obersee lie on terraces above the Bodensee and can be reached via steep hiking trails. The steep access is a separate planning consideration if you include these lakes in your choice of routes.

Circular hike with llamas and alpacas

A circular hike with llamas and alpacas on Gössenberg takes about three hours. Arrangements may need to be made in advance, so it is best to coordinate your participation beforehand. The approximate duration helps you plan this activity during your stay.

Choose accommodation based on your planned excursions

When looking for accommodation in Gössenberg, you can weigh up the excursions according to their practical differences. For the hike to Scheibleck, access via Loipoldhof and the toll road is relevant. On a winter circuit around the Styrian Lake, snow and ice may affect walkability; for Lakes Hüttensee and Obersee, the steep hiking trails are part of the planning. The llama and alpaca circuit takes about three hours, and arrangements may need to be made in advance. First consider which of these destinations you would like to include in your stay, then check the access or participation requirements relevant to your tour.
