    We orient ourselves by the signs of the Arnoweg and ascend over lush meadows to the national border. The path follows the border line until it leaves the ridge and after the hamlet Mehlweg we reach the upright rock slabs of the Barmsteine. Over the exposed north ridge of the small Barmstein, we climb on the secured path to the summit and look out over the Salzach valley from Pass Lueg to Salzburg. Below us, in Hallein, rests Franz Xaver Gruber (1787-1863), the composer of the Christmas carol "Silent Night". His home and death house today houses the Silent Night Museum. For the return trip, we choose the slightly shorter route through forest and meadows down to Marktschellenberg.

    The Türndl ruin is only a few minutes' walk from the Barmsteine!

    Hiking report: Via the Türndl ruin to the Barmsteine

    Roadbook

    From the center of Marktschellenberg towards the cemetery, via the Köpplschneidweg and footpath to Bichlhof, turn left towards Mehlweg to Barmstein. Via Mehlweg you reach the upright rock slabs of the Barmsteine. Along the exposed north ridge of the small Barmstein, you climb on the secured path to the summit and look out over the Salzach valley from Pass Lueg to Salzburg. Only for experienced climbers! Below you, in Hallein, rests Franz Xaver Gruber (1787-1863), the composer of the Christmas carol "Silent Night". You can choose the same return route back to Marktschellenberg. Approx. 3-4 hours. It is also possible to extend the route via the Gschnaitmannlehen Doffenweg to Cafe Oberstein for a stop (please check opening hours on the homepage). Via Neuhäusl you can then return back to Marktschellenberg.
