Nice hiking route on two lower but scenic summits right at the west shore of Traunsee near Traunkirchen. The transition to the Great Sonnstein and the short, secured ascent is somewhat airy but rewarding for sure-footed hikers.

09.02.2021 The Farnaugupf towers over Traunkirchen and can already be recognized from afar as a high forest ridge – the ascent offers everything the heart desires, from comfortable forest roads to steep paths! Additionally, the route showed how beautiful and magical a foggy atmosphere in the mountains can be!

Even though the small Sonnstein is "only" 923m high, you are still on rocky terrain. For mountain newcomers, an ascent is no problem with a bit of fitness. You should definitely be sure-footed!

    Wunderschön aber keine leichte Strecke für Anfänger. Man muss an steinwänden hochklettern und selbst die Wegweiser sagen, man braucht 1:15 Stunden :)

    Es gibt einen kostenlosen Parkplatz am Ortsrand zu Winkl. Dort beginnt auch die verbale Beschreibung der Tour. Den Track fanden wir am Beginn eher ungenau. Im Aufstieg sind wir dem Track und der roten Markierung gefolgt. Beim Abstieg haben wir ab dem Baalstein-Sattel den blau markierten Weg genommen, so dass sich ein Rundweg ergeben hat.

    Im Geröll im Wald verliert man den Weg schon mal aus dem Blick. Die Markierungen (rote Punkte) sind recht verwittert und dünn gesät. Am besten folgt man dann den Stockspuren der Vorwanderer. Die Weg ist vergleichsweise schwach besucht.

    Kurz vor dem Gipfel: Stöcke verstauen und klettern.

    Haben die Tour von Ebensee gestartet und sind dann auf der Straße (ca. 1/2 Stunde am Rad-/Fußweg) wieder nach Ebensee zurück. Es gibt ein Stück weiter auch einen weniger steilen Weg auf den Großen Sonnstein :-) der mit Kindern auch möglich ist.

    Sehr schöne Tour, teilweise ein wenig steinig und steil. Kurz vor dem kleinen Sonnstein wartet eine Hütte mit nettem Personal. Am Weg auf den großen Sonnstein hat man am letzten Teil die Wahl ein (sehr) kurzes Stück zu klettern. Beide Gipfel mit wunderbarer Aussicht auf den Traunsee und die umliegenden Gipfel.
