From St. Pölten, the route takes you through a varied landscape, rolling hills and picturesque villages before climbing steeply up to the Hegerberghütte at 650m. Once at the top, a rest stop with a fantastic view awaits.
Author’s recommendation
There is a challenging route with a steep, 3.4 km long climb to the Hegerberg hut.
Recommended stops include the Hegerberg hut and Stössingtal hut.
Derived from the technical difficulty and the stamina requirements.
