    The mountain hike to the Kienberg (801 m) begins at the inn "Taverne in der Schön". After a few meters of cycling path, you follow quiet forest paths and forest roads to the western ridge and reach the small summit cross via unmarked trails.

    On the western ridge you can either keep directly on the ridge or use the forest roads below.

    Safety information

    The route is not marked but still quite popular. It is advisable to pay attention to orientation at critical points.

    Tips and suggestions

    The "Kienberg Tunnel" (bypass Schön) of the Pyhrn motorway also runs through the Kienberg.

    Roadbook

    From the parking lot at the inn "Taverne in der Schön" you walk a few meters on the paved cycling path to the house "Schön 25". Immediately behind it, turn right onto a narrow uphill paved road. Follow this briefly upwards until a forest path branches off to the right.

    Now continue gently uphill on this path to a crossroads. We follow the straight-ahead, now steeper uphill forest road to another crossroads on the western ridge of the Kienberg.

    Now always along this wide, comfortable forest ridge to the highest point. It is most rewarding to always follow the trail and path tracks directly along the ridge.

    Descent as ascent.
