Schoberstein circuit in the cold season

From the Klausriegler parking lot in Trattenbach, the well-marked hiking trail leads steadily uphill - first across a pasture, then through shady forests - and finally across a high plateau up to the summit of the Schoberstein (1,285 m). Right next to it, the Schobersteinhaus invites you to stop for a bite to eat. The descent is either via the forest road or a beautifully laid out hiking trail, past the Mandlmais Chapel, and further along the forest road down to the Scheibach Falls and back to the starting point at the Klausriegler parking lot.

Hiking trail to the Schobersteinhaus: 481
Hiking trail back to the starting point: E77, 21

The starting point for this circular hike is the Klausriegler parking lot in Trattenbach. The well-marked hiking trail initially leads steadily uphill - across open pastureland and on through shady sections of forest. After a final ascent across an extensive high plateau, you finally reach the summit of the Schoberstein (1,285 m). Just below the summit, the Schobersteinhaus invites you to take a break and enjoy the panoramic view.

For the descent, follow the mountain ridge eastwards to the Koglerstein/Schinder and then enter the forest. The trail continues down to the idyllically situated Mandlmais chapel. From there, follow a forest road past the Scheibach Falls back to the starting point at the Klausriegler parking lot.
