Fog and wind can make the summit area uncomfortable.Tips and suggestions
The Wechsel, a mountain massif with a 15 km long ridge
and an elevation of 1,743 meters above sea level, connects the federal states
Lower Austria and Styria. It is a viewpoint and
a hub for a region with great cultural tradition and
landscape diversity.
Roadbook
From the parking lot at the biotope west just outside Mariensee, shortly over a private road to the turnstile to the meadow area. Steeply upwards to the forest and follow the cozy alpine path (blue-white marking). The Mariensee Schwaig directly at the Wechsel trail is unfortunately closed. On the descent, the mostly tracked farm road (below the M. Schwaig to the left) is very ski- and energy-saving.
