    Safety information

    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.
