Stage 07 Luchs Trail: Ennstalerhütte Lodge - Mooslandl

After a good breakfast at the Ennstalerhütte lodge you return to the Landlereck junction, from where you start on a steep descent towards Bärensattel/Erb/Hackenschmied/Landl. On the Bärensattel pass, the route forks off towards Hackenschmied and Landl (Path No. 646), taking you through an untouched beech forest. When the trail joins a forest road, you follow it until you reach the main road. Turn right in front of a large white house (known as ‘Hackenschmiede’), and look out for a small, wooden signpost towards Landl. You walk up the initially steep gravel road, until the first houses of Landl come into view. Walk past the village church, leave the butcher’s shop (‘Fleischerei Pfeiler’) to your right, and then turn right into ‘Hartlstraße’ Road, which you follow all the way to the Eisen main road. After around 500 m, you get to a bus stop, where you cross the main road and follow the sign for ‘Hauptkraftwerk Landl’. This road will take you downhill, across the Enns Bridge, and finally – having crossed over the railway tracks – uphill again. At the first right-hand bend, you keep right and follow the L744 road for around one kilometre, until you have reached the village of Mooslandl. Turn right onto the main street, and you will see the Mooswirt Inn – your destination for the day.

You should also be well prepared for changeable weather.

Packing your backpack correctly makes things much easier:
Pack heavy items first. Your water bottle should always be easily accessible in a side pocket. Everything you need frequently, such as sunglasses, your smartphone, or hiking map, should be packed on top.
