Bernhard Knauss Trail

From the starting point you start downhill along the road for about 100 meters and then make a right onto the gravel trail taking you up to "Rohrmooser Frei" meadows via the "Schussbühel" waypoint. You run across the meadow and at the valley terminal of Obertalbahn cable-car you make a right and run uphill to the next forest road. This is the lower part of "Mushroom Nature Trail" and you make a left and run through the forest until you reach the "Mushroom Town" of this theme trail. There, you make a right and - first along a well maintained forest trail, then a forest road - continue to the valley terminal of Gipfelbahn Hochwurzen cable-car.

You pass by at the terminal and start running uphill again, making a left at the mountain terminal of Rohrmoos II chair-lift, continuing on trail #60. At the trail intersection of trail # 60 (located in the middle of a big forest clearing) you continue to the right (4-seasons trail). The beautiful forest and meadow trail takes you to hotel Winterer. Passing by at two cable-car terminals you continue downhill to the Hohenbergstraße road. Make a left, run along the road for about 100 meters and then you take off right again and run downhill to the Lanshof farm. A short section on paved road takes you to Haus Strobl where the fairytale trail begins. This nicely groomed forest and meadow trail takes you back to hotel Schwaigerhof and your starting point.

Bernhard Knauss is an EASY trail run. It is perfect for runners who want to have a first-time experience in running trails with different surface. The technical difficulties (in respect to trail running) are minimal and an average sportsman will easily be able to run this route.

GPS data and orienteering

Available GPS data - just like hiking maps - is only a guidance for orientation and can never depict a trail exactly with all its details. Especially at dangerous spots it is essential to judge on site how to proceed.

In an emergency please call:

• 140 - for Alpine emergencies (all over Austria)
• 112 - European GSM emergency number

You can combine this trail run with the Rohrmoos Trail or the Hochwurzen Trail.
