Stage 8: Mooslandl - Palfau
Varied: along the valley accompanied by the wild Salza river und through the impressive Noth Gorge.

ATTENTION: The last stage of the Luchs Trail is diverted away from the Ybbstaler Hütte. You go via the Lechnergraben to Lunz. The ascent to the Dürrenstein is possible (2h), but you have to go back to the Ybbstaler Hütte. The detour is not marked as a lynx trail!
