The Wasserfallweg is considered the oldest climbing route in the Eastern Alps. Combined with the crossing of the Planspitze, it forms a magnificent mountain crossing in the Gesäuse National Park.

The Gesäuse is a popular destination for hikers and mountaineers. The Gesäuse National Park was founded in 2002 and extends in the Austrian federal state of Styria over the towns of Admont, Johnsbach, Weng, Hieflau, Landl, and St. Gallen. A medium, beautiful, scenic, and sometimes foggy hike awaits you on the 3 peaks Admonter Kalbling, Sparafeld, and Riffel. I found the route magnificent. Bravo!
Treffneralm with Reichenstein right.

Simple but longer hiking route in autumn over three named and several unnamed ridge summits and to a memorial cross.

Autumn mood accompanies us on the first stage of our route through the Gesäuse. Fog drifts in the valley, while the Rifflspitze welcomes us with bright sunshine.
Summit Riffelspitz (Variant 01A)
Hiking Trail · Ennstal Alps
01 Northern Alpine Trail, E15: Klinkehütte - Bosruckhütte
recommended route Difficulty difficult Stage 15

21.4 km
7:00 h

The highlight of this stage is certainly Admont with its famous monastery. Unless you choose the quite challenging alpine variant 01A, on which you can "take" four beautiful peaks at once: Kalbling, Sparafeld, Riffelspitz, and Kreuzkogel.
Farnwald
Hiking Trail · Ennstal Alps
From the Mödlinger Hut via Spielkogel and Sebringgraben to Johnsbach
recommended route Difficulty T2 moderate
11.1 km
6:00 h
400 m
1,063 m
Interesting hike over Spielkogel, Anhartskogel, Niederberg and Sebringgraben (hiking trail, not forest road) to Johnsbach. Partly very muddy in the Sebringgraben. Carried out within the framework of the AV Youth Wiener Neustadt.
Mödlinger Hut
Hiking Trail · Ennstal Alps
To the Mödlinger Hut from the Oberst-Klinke-Hut via the Lahngangkogel
recommended route Difficulty T2 difficult
10.9 km
4:35 h
890 m
853 m
Scenic and solitary hike along the ridge of the Lahngangkogel with a steep descent to the Wagenbänkalm. Continuing hike to the Mödlinger Hut via a dreamy forest road and ascent from the Flitzenschlucht to the Treffner Alm.
Hiking Trail · Gesäuse
Route 8.10 Tieflimauer 1820 m - Teufelssteig
recommended route Difficulty moderate
5
13.7 km
6:30 h
1,380 m
1,380 m
The Tieflimauer leads a rather inconspicuous existence in the shadow of large Gesäuse mountains. With the construction of a via ferrata through the south face, interest has clearly increased. The approach can of course also be made from Gstatterboden via the Ennstalerhütte, or shortened by doing a "bike&hike" route to the Hochscheibenalm.
Mödlinger Hut
Hiking Trail · Ennstal Alps
Approach from the Klinke Hut to the Mödlinger Hut
recommended route Difficulty moderate
4.8 km
2:00 h
388 m
359 m
Medium-length approach from the Oberst-Klinke Hut via the Kalblingsgatterl and the Flitzenalmen to the Mödlinger Hut.

    Ein fantastische Tour mit vielen überwältigenden Anblicken, aber nicht für Ungeübte (wegen des kurzen Klettersteigs und der ausgesetzten Stellen) und nicht bei Nässe. Der Weg zur Hütte und ins Tal ist technisch nicht mehr schwer.

    Der Kematensteig von Admont zum Kreuzkogel ist oberhalb der Waldgrenze sehr schön. Achtung: Der Gratsteig weiter zur Riffelspitze sollte nur bei trockenem Wetter begangen werden. Eine Steilpassage mit lehmigem Boden ist bei Nässe gefährlich! Ein kurzer Abstecher vom Kaiblinggatterl zur Klinkehütte lohnt sich. Der Abstieg zum Flitzenbach und der Anstieg zur Mödlinger Hütte (tolle Aussicht und nette Wirtsleute) ist teilweise schlecht markiert.

    Recht schöne Wanderung im Herbst. Teilweise recht steil, man macht einige Höhenmeter auf verhältnismäßig kurzer Strecke, technisch aber nicht besonders anspruchsvoll.

    Tolle Tour. Die Tour lässt sich durch den Südwandklettersteig erweitern. Klettersteigset unbedingt mitnehmen. Am ersten Tag kann man zum Buchsteinhaus aufsteigen (mit Übernachtung). Am zweiten Tag kann man über den Südwandklettersteig den Großen Buchstein besteigen und zurück nach Gstatterboden gehen.

    Sehr schöne, anstrengende, abwechslungsreiche Tour! Würde über den Wasserfallweg bei Nässe nicht absteigen. Ich habe eine reine Gehzeit von ca. 8 Std benötigt und die Zeitangaben auf den Schildern haben grob für mich gepasst. Die Kletterpassagen sind nicht schwierig. Für jeden, der schonmal einen Klettersteig gemacht hat, problemlos machbar. Essen auf der Hesshütte ist sehr lecker :) In Johnsbach kann man mit dem Gesäuse-Sammeltaxi zurück zum Ausgangspunkt gelangen.
