Ringkogel Trail

Selected alternatives for you

Challenging but scenically magnificent tour with a possible stop for refreshments at the Schwarzalm at the halfway point.

You walk eastwards across green alpine pastures to reach the easternmost point of the tour, the Ringkogel, below the Schmalzmauer and then always close to the ridge in a constant up and down. An impressive view of Hochschwab and Gesäuse rewards the effort. The path now descends gently to the Schwarzalm. Via the Brunnecker huts, you walk back to the starting point via a final ascent.

Author’s recommendation

Take time from Ringkogel for a mindful look into the Dürrenstein-Lassingtal wilderness area.
