More information
Coming from Liezen or Schladming, take the exit towards Tauplitz (B145) at the Trautenfels traffic circle. Turn off directly at the village of Lessern and drive onto the signposted parking area.
Through Lessern follow the signs to Pürgg/Wörschachwald up to the railway underpass. Immediately after this you turn left onto hiking trail #288 to Gasthof Dachsteinblick. The wide path climbs quite steeply, but without any technical difficulties, and after about half an hour you reach the access road to the above. Poserer. Follow the road briefly to the left and then turn right again onto the hiking trail. Along the edge of the forest you can reach the Gasthaus Dachsteinblick in about 20 minutes. It’s a good place to stop off. From the inn you hike south along Marterlweg (#278). You walk slightly downhill along the wayside shrines and at the end of an S-curve to the right you reach the junction towards Poserer (possible variant to path #288). You follow the Marterlweg south to Pürgg until you come to a crossroads with path #10 in the forest. This leads you down - past a farm in the forest - near the railway line of the Salzkammergutbahn and along it back to Lessern.
From the inn you can take a short sidetrip up to the "Kleines Hörndl" view point.
From Stainach-Irdning train station take bus number 950 to Lessern - Bundesstrasse stop. Timetable/times at www.verbundlinie.at
