The tour
Shared joy makes you twice as happy. Along this hike, the section on the cross-country ski trail Hinterwald to Schaupphof and on the right bank of the stream back to the village is extra wide tracked, so that not only cross-country skiers but also you as a winter hiker can discover this part of Donnersbachwald.
Getting there
From the Ennstalbundesstraße (B320) turn off at the Trautenfels junction in the direction of Irdning, Donnersbach, Donnersbachwald. Through the village of Donnersbach and another 12 km to Donnersbachwald.
Take the 941 bus to the "Donnersbachwald Ort" or "Riesneralm Talstation" bus stop. There is also the starting point of the hike.
