More information
We start the hike at the Birkfeld railway station car park and walk along the pavement past the petrol station up the "Dechantleitenweg" towards the centre of Birkfeld, from the lower main square straight on to the upper main square, past the Marian column up towards Bergasse, at the water hydrant we go straight on into the forest and then come to the Esser Kreuz, cross the Pireggerstrasse and follow the Alte Gasenerstrasse, past the Laglbauer farm and the Jagaleitner farm through the forest. After a few kilometres you come to Breitenauer Landesstrasse, with the Baumgartmühle inn on your right. At this road we go left over the bridge and after about 50m we go right, past the houses, from now on it's uphill again, after the farm "Hansl in der Leitn" we hike up through the forest and come to the farm "Schoberbauer" and thus it's not far to the Schoberkogel. Arriving at the Schoberkogl we are rewarded with a beautiful view and you can see 7 church towers. After the rest at the Schoberkogel, we walk a short distance along the path from where we came, but then keep to the right, so that we hike around the Schoberkogel and come back at a high seat where the tour closes and walk back along the same path to the starting point at Birkfeld station.
The refreshment stops directly along the trail provide refreshments along the way, for example at the Baumgartmühle inn before heading uphill to the Schoberkogel.
