Scheffauer Mountain RouteRoadbook
Start of the mountain route to Scheffauer is at the parking lot at Hintersteiner See, or at the smaller parking lot near the Bärnstatt Chapel. Up to Steiner Hochalm, the path runs on well-walkable trails and forest roads. From the alpine pasture, it gets a bit steeper. Through the forest and over scree, it goes uphill. From the junction to Kaiser Hochalm, it becomes significantly steeper. Partly secured, the path leads to the summit. Descent via the same route.
