Tressenstone via Castle Trautenfels

Starting from Trautenfels Castle, the trail leads you along initially flat forest paths past the Neuhaus church ruins. The trees along the way offer plenty of shade, but always provide a view of the Enns Valley and Pürgg. The forest road is replaced after 3/4 hour by a hollow way and leads the last 15 min again over an access road to the Grimminghütte (refreshment - and overnight stay possibility). From now on, the trail leads through the beech forest in the direction of Tressenstein. In the last section becoming steeper, you reach the summit after about 45 min from the Grimminghütte. From below, hardly recognizable in the clear shadow of the Grimming, you have a fantastic view over the Enns Valley. The descent is via the same path.

• Plan your tour in advance and take into account walking time, route length, altitude difference, danger spots and weather forecast.
• The Alpine Club provides detailed information on "Safe Mountain Hiking". Under www.alpenverein.at you can inform comprehensively about it.
• Together is much more beautiful and at the same time safer in the mountains. Do not go alone, if possible, and adapt the tour to the ability of your group.
• Let them know where you are going and when you want to be back. Also sign hut or summit books.
• Turn back in good time if the weather deteriorates. If you get caught in a thunderstorm, do not stay on the summit or ridge and stay away from individual trees. Wait out the storm, if possible in a crouching position.
• Stay on the marked trails and remember to close pasture fences again.
• Getting up the trail is only half the battle. Stay alert, especially on the descents, to make it back to the valley safely.
• In case of emergency, keep calm and call the mountain rescue on 140. If you have no reception, take out the sim card and dial 112.
• If you encounter cows: It is best to pass above the herd with at least 50 meters distance. Stay calm, don't make any frantic movements and don't run away. Do not imitate cow sounds and do not try to pet the animals. A stick and loud shouting can often make the animals turn back in an emergency.
• If you are a dog owner: Clarify before the hike if you have to cross a pasture. Keep your dog on a leash and make sure he stays calm. If a cow attacks, let the dog off the leash immediately. Never pick him up to defend him.

In your weatherproof backpack belong: Sun and rain protection, warm, windproof clothing, drinks and provisions, small first aid kit, hiking map and a fully charged cell phone. Suitable footwear goes without saying.
