2-day route in the Reichraminger Hintergebirge with great panoramic views, dining options & overnight stay at the Ennser Hut. Very good fitness and surefootedness required!!
Day 1: Starting point of the route is at Brunnbach (near Großraming). On the first day, you ascend to the managed Gschwendtalm and hike over the "Danzersteig" to the Ennser Hut. Overnight stay at the Ennser Hut.
Day 2: Between the Ennser Hut's local mountain, the Almkogel, and the Langlackenmauer opens a beautiful panoramic view over the region: Nationalpark Kalkalpen with the Reichraminger Hintergebirge and Sengsengebirge, Totes Gebirge and Haller Mauern on one side, Ennstal Alps with Nationalpark Gesäuse to the Ötscher and far into the Alpine foreland to the Mühl- and Waldviertel on the other side.
The path continues over the Dürrensteig ridge to Hochzöbel.
From now on it goes downhill over the Hirschkogelsattel to the managed Anlaufalm. Over the Ortbauernalm and the Kreuzweg, the circular hike ends back at the starting point at Brunnbach.
Author’s recommendation
Please do not forget to save the route "offline" before you start, as mobile reception in the forest wilderness of the national park is not always available.

Roadbook
Day 1: From Brunnbach, the path E44a passes the education center Brunnbachschule along a forest road. At the second hairpin bend, you find the entrance to hiking trail 491 which you follow to the managed Gschendtalm. Strengthened by an alpine snack, continue uphill on the same path to the first high point, the Gamsstein. From there, follow trail 492 eastwards over the Baulucke to the managed Ennser Hut. Here you can expect good food, a great view, friendly hosts, and a bed for the night.
Tip: For safety, reserve a sleeping place before starting the hike!
Day 2: Early rising is required for the second stage. From the hut, follow trail 492 directly to the local mountain Almkogel. From the first viewpoint, follow paths E10/E11 to the Langlackenmauer, where surefootedness is necessary at the summit area. For some meters, the path leads over a rock secured by cables. The hike continues with little incline to the neighboring Ochsenkogel and Reiflingeck. Over the Dürrensteig ridge, you reach the Hochzöbel. From here, it goes downhill on trail E11 to Brandlucke where the hiking trail joins a forest road again. Turn right here and follow the road to Hirschkogelsattel *. In about half an hour on trail 490, you'll reach the managed Anlaufalm **.
After a well-deserved rest, take the return path on trail 488 via Ortbauernalm and Kreuzweg (No. 48) back to Brunnbach.
* Hirschkogelsattel: Shortest return route to Brunnbach (without Anlaufalm) approx. 6 kilometers on forest road (trail 490) possible.
** Overnight stay possible at Anlaufalm. Walking time Anlaufalm via Ortbauernalm and Kreuzweg to Brunnbach approx. 3 hours.
