Immediately after the Gasthof Drachenwand, we turn right onto a steep path that leads us directly into the forest (signposts for Almkogel and Drachenwand). After about 200m we reach the junction in the direction of Schober and Wartenfels ruins and follow this straight ahead on a comfortable forest path. Now we hike past a beautiful Materl and some streams and finally the hike ends in a forest road. There we turn left and immediately right again, following the signs to Schober. After a gentle uphill section, the hiking trail branches off to the left in the direction of Schober. This path leads us through a water and spring reserve. The overflow from which the fresh spring water gushes out can be heard from afar. We follow the hiking trail to a clearing with a great view of Mondsee. There the hiking trail joins another forest road. Now, however, no longer follow the signs to Schober, but keep walking gently downhill on the forest road to the left until we reach the junction to the original hiking trail. From here we go back to the starting point on the same route. The best time for the hike is in the morning (from around 3:00 p.m. the sun sets behind the Drachenwand and Schober and the entire path is in the shade). **What to see:** Especially in spring, the forest shines blue (liverwort), white (wood anemone and butterbur) and yellow (cowslip and coltsfoot). The peculiar deer-tongue fern, the marsh marigold and the forest bear moss from the times of the dinosaurs can be found on rare plants. In addition to the usual forest birds, with luck the peregrine falcon brooding in the Drachenwand can be seen or at least heard. In spring the squirrels in particular are very active and the first butterflies (lemon butterflies and small foxes) are already on their way.
