"After long time, I rewarded myself with another adventurous, epic hike towards and across majestic Schneeberg, through paths I haven't explored before. I reserved 2 full days for this trip, starting on Saturday morning in Grünbach, hiking through Hohe Wand to very nice ridge Plattenstein - Katharinenschlag - Öhler - Schober with nice, starry, warm, but windy night in my hammock on the meadow above Mamauwiese with excellent view to Schneeberg. There I continued on Sunday morning with scorching sun above my head, to busy morning Edelweißhütte with short stop for an espreso shot and glass of schiwasser. So I empowered myself to overcome steep climb through beautiful Fadensteig, which immediately became my favourite route to Schneeberg plateau (so far!). I rewarded myself by cosy lunch (Käsespetzle plus bier) and continued amongst crowds of tourists to Waxriegel and later down, down, down, long descent through interesting stops of Salamander Bahn with many traditional caches along the path. I reached my final destination in great mood and condition (body battery at minimum, 5%) in Puchberg. From there, it was the boring part with 3 train, 1 bus and 1 tram ride back home to Bratis..." — Rikitan • Jun 28, 2025
