Trans Nationalpark Et 06 (Mooslandl-Johnsbach)

Closed
Durch das Yosemite Valley Österreichs: immer im Antlitz der schroffen Nordwände des Gesäuses über die Hochscheibenalm ins Bergsteigerdorf Johnsbach
From Mooslandl you start comfortably on smaller and briefly also larger asphalt roads to Hieflau. But this is where it really starts: with the long ascent to the Hochscheibenalm. Always on forest roads, the route leads above the deeply cut Enns in many serpentines to the alpine pasture. However, the effort will not seem like much, because there is plenty of distraction: the higher you go, the wider the view of the valley that cuts through the wild mountains of the Gesäuse. At the latest on the long descent from the alpine pasture down to the Enns to Gstatterboden, the famous rugged and steep north faces between Planspitze and Ödstein come more and more prominently into view. From Gstatterboden, the idyllic Rauchboden Trail takes you along the Enns to the Weidendom and from there through the deeply cut valley of the Johnsbach up to the idyllically situated mountaineering village of Johnsbach, the destination of the Trans National Park.

Coming from Vienna: A1 exit Ybbs, approx. 90 km further on B25 Coming from Linz: A9 exit 67 Ardning/Admont, continue on B146 towards Admont, through the Gesäuse to Hieflau, in Hieflau turn left onto B115, after approx. 5 km turn right onto the B25 to Mooslandl and continue for 1 km Coming from Salzburg: On the B320 to Liezen, roundabout exit Admont onto B146, through the Gesäuse to Hieflau, in Hieflau turn left onto B115, after approx. 5 km turn right onto the B25 to Mooslandl and continue for 1 km
At the starting point in Mooslandl opposite the Hotel Mooswirt, keep to the right (i.e. south and not back along yesterday's route) and at the end of the village turn left into a small asphalt road towards Lainbach. The road leads quite idyllically through a kind of valley with a few houses and then leads down to Lainbach, an enchanted-looking little hamlet in the valley of the Schwabelbach. Here, follow the road to the right across the Enns to the main federal road. This takes you first uphill and then downhill again to Hieflau (beware of the traffic on this section).

At the beginning of the village, turn right and cross the Enns over two wooden bridges. Behind them, turn left onto a small asphalt road until you reach the last houses and the start of the "Hochscheibentour" MTB trail. The road turns into a meadow path, which you follow above the Enns - in some cases taking short hairpin bends - until you reach a gravel road. Turn right into the gravel road and follow it for 650 m to the highest point at the so-called Kühboden. Now continue at a constant altitude along the forest road to the (unmanaged) Hochscheibenalm, whose idyllic location and great view of the Gesäuse mountains invite you to take a break.

This is where the long descent down to Gstatterboden begins: Always follow the most obvious forest road to Gstatterboden, keep to the right before the main road and you will reach the National Park pavilion. Here you can fortify yourself and at the same time learn interesting facts about the Gesäuse National Park.

Behind the National Park pavilion you reach the main road and follow it for a short time until you reach a railway crossing. The road leads to the left over this crossing - but you keep straight ahead on the so-called "Rauchbodenweg". This beautifully designed gravel path leads along the Enns River to the Johnsbach railway station. Here a wooden bridge brings you to the other side of the Enns and shortly to the big road Hieflau - Admont. Turn right and then immediately left onto the road to Johnsbach. This road takes you through the beautiful valley between the rugged Gesäuse mountains past the Gasthof zum Donner and the nearby famous mountaineers' cemetery to the high valley of Johnsbach to the finish of the Trans National Park at the Ödsteinblick inn. You have done it, the Trans National Park! And you can be proud of yourself!
