After the end of the village, you reach a path surrounded by forest that leads towards the highest vantage point in the municipality of Schäffern. After the Hartberger Höh vantage point, there are other charming resting places such as the Patritzlkreuz, the Kegelplatz and the Putzirgl Kreuz. The trail not only promises panoramic views, but also idyllic places to take a break along the way.
Author’s recommendation
- We recommend a short break with a picnic and beautiful views at the Hartberger Höh and Kreuzbühel viewpoints.
- If you prefer to stop for a bite to eat, a short detour to the Schneeberger riding stables/ Waldbauernrast shelter is a good idea. Please note that a short detour is necessary and we recommend that you check in advance whether the riding stables are open (Tel.: +43664/3830261).

Correct behaviour when hiking: Rules of behaviour when hiking
A few tips on correct and fair behaviour in the forest: (Source: https://www.bundesforste.at/english.html)
- Hikers should avoid visiting the forest approx. 1.5 hours before sunrise and after sunset, as wild animals are particularly active at this time.
- Plastic bottles, handkerchiefs, cigarette butts etc. have no place in the forest! Please make sure that you do not leave any rubbish in the forest.
- Camping and making fires is strictly forbidden in the forest!
- In principle, every person in the forest is allowed to collect 2kg of mushrooms and berries per day for their own use. It is only prohibited if the forest owner expressly forbids it.
- small rucksack with water bottle (+ provisions)
- Sturdy shoes
- Appropriate clothing - preferably several layers - "onion principle"
- Rain and sun protection
- Hiking poles as required
- Mobile phone
- Small first aid kit
- Route description
- Before starting the hike, check where you can stop for refreshments, including opening times, or pack suitable provisions.
