Hahn Trail

The beautiful hikes are also described on the Kaumberg municipality's hiking map as Frog Trail, Hahn Trail, Castle Trail, Deer Trail, and Fox Trail. The village of Kaumberg itself offers some sights such as the barrel fountain at the main square, the Gothic parish church St. Michael, and the local history museum. A special highlight of the municipality and a very popular excursion destination is the widely visible Araburg castle ruins.

The Hahn Trail leads over the viewpoint "Lug ins Land" into the Steinbach valley and across meadows and pastures back to Kaumberg. From the market square, the hike passes briefly through the village and then follows the promenade along the Laabach brook downstream until you turn left at the ski slope. Through beech forest and finally across meadows with larch trees, you ascend to the highest point "Lug ins Land" at 636 m above sea level. Here you can enjoy a great view of the Araburg, Hocheck, and the hilly landscape between Steinbach valley and Höfnergraben up to Peilstein. The descent into Steinbach valley first crosses a meadow, then leads through the forest down to the Hagerhof. On the lightly trafficked road in Steinbach valley, you soon reach Hof Ebner, where you ascend over meadows to the "Red Cross". The "Promenade" brings the hiker back to Kaumberg.

Popis trasy Hahn Trail

From the market square, head east, past the fountain, and immediately turn into Markt street. After the Kirchenwirt, opposite the local history museum, a narrow path branches off to the left (sign: Lug ins Land – Höfnergraben, red marking) leading over to the Laabach. Here you cross the street and climb a few meters up to the "Promenade" beside the brook. To the right, a beautiful gravel path runs directly next to the brook downstream. Before the spot with the "4 Elements," climb a short way up the steps, cross a street, and ascend over meadows to a fence (red marking). From here, follow a farm road (asphalt) to the last house. A sign "Lug ins Land" guides further to the ski slope, on whose northern edge a gravel path leads further up. Now the path continues through beech forest and finally over meadows to a saddle. The highest point of the hike, "Lug ins Land" 636 m above sea level; red cross, resting bench is reached. From here, the path leads left through a cattle grid and over meadows (passing directly by a lone tree!) downhill to the forest edge. Initially walking along the forest edge, soon a steep path turns right into the forest (red marking), leading down to the Hagerhof. Circling the farm to the right, the Steinbach valley is reached. Here follow the asphalt road at the valley floor for 1.5 km, first without marking, then from the "Steinbacher" farm, yellow marked until the yellow marking on a gravel road leads left to Hof Ebner. Passing the farm, ascend initially on a gravel road, then on a meadow path over meadows and pastures up to the "Red Cross." From here, follow the "Promenade" (yellow and red marking) along the slope through the forest back to Kaumberg.
