Tremmelberg "Tower in the mountains" via Wolfsgrube

At the Sachendorf parking lot (1), 697 m, we follow the asphalt road, past the meadows and fields, slightly uphill. After a few minutes we reach a few houses and come to the intersection (2), 715 m, of the hiking trails "Temmelberg via Wolfsgrube" and "Tremmelberg via Vorder-Tremmel". We keep to the right or straight ahead and follow the signs "Temmelberg via Wolfsgrube". A short stretch along the forest road and we see a turnoff to the left. There is a steeper part of the path. We follow the path, cross a small wooden bridge and reach a forest road or a crossroads. Here there is the possibility to go right to the forest school. We go to the left, still a bit along the forest road, and further along paths, continuously uphill, in between traveling on pronounced hollow paths. After crossing the first forest road, follow the markings straight on and you will come to a steeper section of trail and again to a forest road. Continue along a steep path, which has been made easily passable with steps and a fence. At the end of the steps you have a wonderful view (3), 1014 m, of Knittelfeld. From now on it goes on a little more comfortably. Arriving at the ridge, we can already see our destination ahead of us. A few more meters uphill and we reach the Wolfsgrube (4), 1125 m, where a detour to the left leads to the Knittelfeld Kirchturmkreuz. It is not far to the towers, a few more meters of altitude and we reach the Tremmelberg (5), 1194 m. The way back is the same as the ascent. Even though the path leads exclusively through the forest, during the ascent you have beautiful views of Knittelfeld and the surrounding area again and again.

A less steep descent alternative runs via the Vorder-Tremmel (see Tremmelberg hike via Vorder-Tremmel).

Entrance towers through a turnstile (2-euro coin)

The starting point in Sachendorf is easy to reach by bus (bus stop "Sachendorf Abzw Maßweg", from there 15 minutes walk). The nearest train station is in Knittelfeld.
