Höhenberg

Leave Oberau station towards the station building and cross the rather unattractive station square to the federal road. Now cross this either via the underpass or the pedestrian traffic light. On the other side, follow Schmiedweg into the town. At the village fountain, turn right onto the main street but leave it after a few meters to the left into Mühlstraße. Follow the street and continue straight at the edge of the development. The street name changes to "Am Mühlberg," but the direction initially stays the same. Only at the foot of the hill does the street turn slightly right and lead steeply up to a last farm. Beyond it, a small ford is reached; the associated stream can be easily crossed on a footbridge. On the other side of the brook, a bend in a driveway indicates the further route. For this, go left, i.e., uphill. After a crest, the driveway briefly loses some altitude but soon rises again. In this ascent, just before the distinctive already visible left-hand curve, leave the driveway: on the right, only a few meters away, runs a parallel path that leads further ascent to the Heldenkreuz.

From the Heldenkreuz, continue marked and signposted on the path upwards. This path still follows the ridge and only leaves it after touching a farm track. Now, somewhat to the right, it even goes slightly downhill again to the Loisach viewpoint.

Behind the covered bench, it essentially continues slightly left again back toward the ridge. Here the path is already a bit narrower and may not always be easy to recognize after the leaves fall in autumn. Reliable blue markings ensure that the correct way is not lost. Back on the ridge, orientation becomes easier again. To the left are surprisingly steep drops, which can be looked at very closely at the "Little Paradise." Some caution is advised: there is no railing!

Continuing in the same walking direction, the path shortly reaches the highest point of the Höhenberg. This is forested and unfortunately offers no view. On the other side, a wider path is soon reached, which passes by a beautiful, scenic meadow and leads downhill in switchbacks. It soon becomes a crosswise driveway that leads right along the way toward Eschenlohe. All smaller paths and branches must be ignored until the driveway finally reaches the valley floor parallel to the motorway running on an embankment, which can at least be heard. Shortly after, the intersection with a crosswise road is reached. Turn right here and go under the motorway via an underpass. On the other side, first keep straight and only turn left into Michael-Fischer-Straße at the church of the small village. Go straight past the church and follow Bahnhofstraße to the already near Eschenlohe station.
