    Schöne Tour, allerdings finde ich den weglosen Aufstieg über die Ostseite wenig interessant. Empfehle den gut sichtbaren Weg von Westen auf den Lindkogel.

    Großartige Tour für ausdauernde Wanderer mit traumhafter Wegführung. Empfehlung: am Vorabend losgehen, damit am nächsten Tag noch genügend Tageslicht für das lange Schneebergfinale bleibt. Den Gipfel musste ich deshalb (und aus Konditionsgründen) schlussendlich auslassen. Und: genügend Energieriegel einpacken!! Danke an den Routenplaner!!

    Schöne Tour - bei Nebel geradezu mystisch. Im Abstieg kann man auch noch den Sulzberg (kleines rotes Kreuz) „mitnehmen“.

    Nette Tour ohne große Highlights. Die Zeitangabe von 3:30 ist halt absolut falsch! Ich habe, in flachen Bereichen eine Durchschnittsgeschwindigkeit von 5kmh, war hier allerdings 7h inkl. 2 Pausen unterwegs. Achtung!! Navigation mit der App im Wald nur sehr eingeschränkt möglich

    Eine landschaftlich schöne, teils steile Wanderung mit reiner Gehzeit von 2h30min. Am Anfang folgt man der Mountainbikestrecke, welche nicht markiert ist. Bei Gabelungen hält man sich eher links, kreuzt gerade eine Weggabelung und man erreicht nach circa 1,2km eine Wiese. Danach ist der Weg sehr gut beschildert und man kann den Wald und die Fernsicht genießen. Eine Anreise aus Wien lohnt sich auf jeden Fall.
