Why "Stone Hunter"?
The legend of a beautiful girl, a poor hunting assistant, a poacher and a white stag is the secret of the towering "Stone Hunter" (1,185 m).
Roadbook
The path first runs along a side road to Hackbauer, from where hiking trail E71 turns right. The path soon becomes quite steep and ends in a beautiful ridge hike (with a ladder!) from Hackermauer to the Stone Hunter (1,185 m) or to the Schieferstein summit (1,206 m).
Enjoy the magnificent panoramic view into the Gesäuse mountains and the Alpine foothills as far as over the Danube.
Return follows the same path for a while until the path to the right leads towards Gscheid. Follow this up to the next junction to the left. At E72 / 476 you reach the road again, which you follow downhill shortly to the junction of the hiking trail towards Nagelschmiede. Return via the Nagelschmiedweg to the parking lot.
