From Gahberg on the Hefelberg to Schörfling

A highly recommended hike leads from Gahberg in Weyregg am Attersee over the Häfelberg to Schörfling am Attersee.

If you plan your time carefully, you can hike back to the starting point. Alternatively, during the summer months, you can take the boat back.

Note:
The Häfelberg is often mistakenly referred to as “Häferlberg.”

The starting point is the parking lot above the former Kogler Inn, near the panoramic sign on Gahberg.

Option A:
The trailhead for the Häfelberg is located on Gahbergstraße near the panoramic sign. This route is particularly suitable for families. At the crossroads, the trail continues via Binderschuss to Schörfling and Kammer. The hike takes about 1.5 hours.

Option B:
At the Gahberg intersection next to the transmission tower, the trail turns left toward the two farms. Following the signs for “Steig / Häfelberg,” you’ll reach a forest road after about 20 minutes. Passing the houses and continuing on to the cross, the route then leads to Schörfling. The walking time is approximately 2 hours.

On the Häfelberg is a “place of good fortune” identified by geomancers and known as the “Place of Security.” A cross, benches, shrubs adorned with many lanterns, and a small pond are also located at this special spot. The place is ideal for resting and lingering.

There are two ways to return to Weyregg:
In July and August, take the Attersee Schifffahrt on the Northern Loop or bus No. 562.

Places to stop for refreshments in the region:

• Weyregg on Lake Attersee
• Schörfling am Attersee

By the way: A detour to the Gahberg is well worth it. There, you can visit the observatory and theGahberg Chapel ( ).
