From Kammern im Liesingtal to the Gößeck at Reiting

We start at the train station and walk to the center of Kammern (1), 664 m, where a hiking overview board serves as orientation. The entrance to the hiking trail is in the immediate vicinity and easily recognizable with a yellow signpost with the inscription Gößeck. We follow the asphalt road slightly uphill until we turn left after about 500 meters. From now on we follow the red-white-red marked trail uphill and soon come to a high fence crossing (2), 846 meters. The trail is led in sections on forest roads, so you have to pay close attention to the markings at the entrances. Shortly after passing a marked helicopter rescue site, we continue hiking to the right along a climb. Arriving again at a forest road, we see a small hut on the right side. On the opposite side is the entrance to the continuing climb, but it is easy to miss. Continuously we go uphill to the Rammelhütte (3), 1514 m, and further to the alpine pastures rich in views and flowers. We keep always on the right side of the ridge - attention: on the left side the terrain is partly very sloping - and come to the crossroads (4) to Mautern, 1820m. The trail is well trodden and leads through a beautiful karst landscape. At the trail junction Kaisertal we continue straight ahead and with a little luck see ibexes, which often linger close to the trail and do not let hikers upset them. After the last trail junction in the direction of Bechlgraben-Schardorf, we continue uphill for a few more meters until we reach Gößeck (5) at 2214m. The descent leads via the ascent route.

For a conflict-free coexistence on alpine pastures and meadows, it is important to observe a few rules, especially when traveling with dogs.

• Avoid contact with grazing animals, do not feed them, keep a safe distance!Keep calm, do not frighten grazing animals!
• Mother cows protect their calves. Avoid encounters between mother cows and dogs!
• Always keep dogs under control and on a short leash. If an attack by a grazing animal is foreseeable: Immediately unleash!
• Do not leave hiking trails on alpine pastures and meadows!If grazing animals block the way, avoid them as far as possible!
• When grazing animals approach: Stay calm, do not turn your back, avoid the animals!
• Leave the grazing area quickly at the first sign of restlessness of the animals!
• Fences must be respected!
• If there is a gate, use it, then close it well and cross the pasture quickly!
• Treat the people working here, nature and the animals with respect!

A few tips for correct and fair behavior in the forest: (Source: www.bundesforste.at - 6/2021)

• Hikers should avoid visits to the forest about 1.5 hours before sunrise and after sunset, as wildlife is especially active during this time.
• Plastic bottles, handkerchiefs, cigarette butts & Co have no place in the forest!
• Please make sure that you do not leave any trash in the forest.Camping and making fire - is strictly forbidden in the forest!
• In principle, each person is allowed to collect 2 kg of mushrooms and berries per day for personal use in the forest. It is only forbidden if the forest owner expressly forbids it.
