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.
