Path / trail, Street, Hiking trail

Beautiful but long loop in the Kalkalpen National Park to the imperial hunting lodge.

First through the beech forests of the Kalkalpen National Park, later through mountain pines towards Hoher Nock. At the exit from the Budergraben, keep left and pass the old Koppenalm. From the south-western foothills of the Nock ridge, the trail descends to the Bärenriedlauhütte, once the imperial hunting lodge of Franz Ferdinand, heir to the throne. The hut is NOT staffed and can only be visited on certain days. Enjoy the view of the Windischgarsten valley and the Tote Gebirge mountains in the background.

From here, the trail leads along the south side of the Sengsengebirge mountains, first on a narrow path and later on a forest road and forest paths via the Saubach and Koppen back down into the valley. The last section back to the car park is on the road or finally on a forest road.

Experience of nature

Opening hours

The Bärenriedlau hut is not a managed hut! It was built in the 18th century for cattle herders and hunters and later served the Austrian heir to the throne Franz Ferdinand as Jadgunterkunft. On open days, interested visitors can tour the culturally and historically interesting facility and learn how the once aristocratic hunting area around the Bärenriedlau developed into a game rest area in the Kalkalpen National Park.

Tip: Leave your bike at the Vorderer Rettenbach car park and park your car at the starting point. This will save you part of the hike on the road on the way back.
