Caution - alpine experience required from Eisenau-Alm! We park at the car park of the public state bathing area. In the water we see a stone with two crosses after which the area here is named **"Kreuzstein"** . From there, the trail climbs steeply into the forest, where the **Waterfall Kreuzstein** awaits us as the first highlight after 10 minutes. Continuing up through the forest over several streams and a spectacular bridge construction with well-secured ladders, we reach a hunting lodge with a fantastic view over Lake Mondsee. From here, it is only a few minutes until we reach the **Eisenauer Alm**. This route is also suitable for children and is a unique experience. At **Eisenau**, turn right across alpine meadows and back into the forest. This is followed by a steep ascent to **Suissensee**. Once at the top, turn right and continue under the Schafberg summit. The last section is the so-called **Himmelspforte** - it gets a little tricky here. The steep and rocky path is very demanding for hikers and should only be tackled in dry conditions. The **Schafberg** awaits us with a fantastic view!
