The hike takes us from the parking lot shortly after Annaberg first on the hiking trail in the direction of Tirolerkogel, then to the Walsterursprung (1st monument) to Ulreichsberg and further into the Walstern to Hubertussee. About 1 km before we arrive at the Hubertussee, there is the inn "Zur Wuchtlwirtin" - here we can take a break and taste the delicious Wuchteln. You can find the exact opening hours here.

Arrived at the Hubertussee, there are several monuments to admire along the way. Especially the Bruder Klaus church is worth a visit (open in the summer season).

From Lake Hubertus we then walk through the Rechengraben (ATTENTION: no hiking trail of its own, hiking along the road) to the foot of the Kreuzberg, where we rejoin the hiking trail and follow it to Mariazell.

From Mariazell we can return to Annaberg by bus line 169 at 15:55 (daily, also Sunday and holidays).

Stop at the Wuchtlwirtin at the Hubertussee - please note the opening days!
