Popis trasy Semmering Kummerbauer route
The starting point of the hike is the Semmering pass height at the valley station of the Semmering Hirschenkogel cable car. The forest road starting at the western end of the parking lots leads 3 km uphill to the Hirschenkogel - Sonnwendstein trail junction. Here, the hikers who have chosen the comfortable ascent by the Semmering Hirschenkogel cable car also join. A little hidden, the Hochalmweg initially begins here through the forest. The rocky ascent is rewarded with an alpine hike with a fantastic panoramic view to the summit of the Erzkogel. Variant: The next trail junction is also reachable more comfortably via the forest road. Hungry hikers can now make a detour to the Polleroshütte on the Sonnwendstein, which is also rewarded with a magnificent panoramic view from the terrace. From the trail junction after the Erzkogel before the Sonnwendstein, it goes downhill along the forest road, past the alpine meadow by the mountain rescue hut, and following the forest road southwards until the "3 Crosses" trail junction. At the Materln, the wine trail turns left to the Gasthof Kummerbauer. To the north, the path leads via the Göstritzgraben to Maria Schutz, the place with its famous pilgrimage church. A short stretch along the road to the fire station. To the left begins the forest path, which leads back to the starting point Semmering pass height.
