The tour

This hike leads us on the sunny side of the valley through often light sections, which provide a view of the Great Sölktal.


Turn-by-turn directions

Arrived at the inn "Ödwirt" you cross the main road and follow the directional arrows "Höhenweg Fleiß" to the farm Oberlanger - DT Adventure. Then you pass the farmsteads Rainer, Spießschweiger and finally Hanslebner before you arrive at the main road and walk along the sidewalk back to the starting point.

TIP: From the Rainer homestead the road leads directly into the valley and a shortcut of the hike is possible.

Getting there

From the Ennstalstraße B320 turn off at Pruggern (from the west) or Espang (from the east) in the direction of the Sölktäler Nature Park.

From Stein a.d. Enns turn into the Großsölktal in the direction of Sölkpass. From here about 10 km to the inn "Ödwirt" in Fleiß.

The valley bus makes crossings in the Sölktäler Nature Park possible on weekdays. You can also arrive comfortably by train to Stein an der Enns and the Tälerbus will take you to your accommodation or the starting point of your hike. This bus runs on weekdays during the Styrian summer vacations. All information about the departure times can be found here.
