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.
