A leisurely mountain hike up the Böse Mauer with a steady climb
through a shady forest.

The Böse Mauer in the Radmer region is one of the most impressive panoramic peaks in the Eisenerz Alps. This varied mountain hike leads through peaceful forests, across alpine pastures, and along scenic ridges to the striking summit. The sweeping views of the surrounding mountains in the Hochschwab and Gesäuse regions are particularly impressive.
The ascent requires good basic fitness as well as sure-footedness on steeper sections. The tour is particularly suitable for experienced hikers who appreciate natural trails and alpine landscapes. Along the route, alpine pastures and lookout points invite you to take short breaks.
At the summit, a magnificent panorama of the Upper Styrian mountains unfolds—a rewarding destination for anyone seeking tranquility, nature, and scenic mountain hikes.

From here, the marked hiking trail leads directly into the forest. Over a distance of about 4 kilometers and an elevation gain of approximately 900 meters, the trail climbs steadily uphill. The ascent is steep in places, but remains easily
navigable without any major technical difficulties.

The entire route runs through a quiet, shady wooded area. That is exactly what makes this tour so special: far away from crowded hotspots, you can enjoy the tranquility of nature here. The descent follows the same route.

Packing your rucksack properly makes things much easier: pack the heaviest items first. Your water bottle should always be within easy reach in a side pocket. Anything you’ll need frequently, such as sunglasses, a camera or a map, should go on top. An emergency kit, including blister plasters, belongs in every rucksack, and dressing in layers is always recommended! Mountain rescue emergency number when hiking: 140. Provide answers to the six W questions: What has happened? How many people are injured? Where did the accident happen (GPS coordinates if possible)? Who is reporting (callback number)? When did the accident happen? What are the weather conditions at the scene?
