More information

From Trieben on the Pyhrn A9 Highway, take the B114 to Hohentauern (12 km, about 20 minutes). From Judenburg, take the B114 to Hohentauern (42 km, about 45 minutes).
On the gently ascending serpentines of the forest road, constantly accompanied by the breathtaking panorama of the Bösenstein group, you reach the Wichtelhütte. Well known to all skiers in winter, the hut which is closed in summer, offers a fantastic panoramic view and is therefore ideal as a picnic spot.
You can get a heavenly picnic at the local department store.
