From the lookout point you have a marvellous view of the Totes Gebirge, Traunstein, Höllengebirge and Dachstein, the Schafberg, the Hochkönig as well as the Untersberg and the Watzmann.

The hiking trail then branches off to the left and leads through the so-called "Lippenholz", named after one of the forest owners. It then continues in the direction of Spöck. In Spöck, the trail returns to the road, which you then leave to the right in the direction of the Seirigen forest path. After about 3/4 hour you reach the so-called "Jagbründl" - a rest area in the middle of the forest with a small playground. Continue along the forest road to the villages of Mixental and Rothauptberg. An approx. 1.5 km long road leads up to the Rothauptberg. At the "Bauern am Rothauptberg", the hiking trail branches off to the right up to the viewing platform at approx. 760 metres above sea level. The Rothauptberg is a southern foothill of the Hausruckwald. The view extends from the Ötscher in the east to the Dachstein and in the west to the Hochkönig and Watzmann. The hike leads back to Neukirchen via the villages of Riegl, Winteredt, Zuckau and Spöck. The Hausruckwald Tourism Association would like to thank Sepp Einzenberger for compiling the route data.
