Ybbstaler Hütte (hut) - Dürrenstein - Goldaugraben

Popis

 

Göstling ist einer der traditionsreichsten Urlaubsorte Niederösterreichs. Er liegt im Dreiländereck Niederösterreich-Steiermark-Oberösterreich. Die wunderschönen Almregionen bieten Möglichkeiten für Wanderungen zu zahlreichen bewirtschafteten Hütten. Göstling steht für Erholung, Sport und klare Luft.

Der urige Kalkstock „Dürrenstein“ ist Teil des "Wildnisgebiets Dürrenstein" und hat neben seinen Karstformationen und Dolinen eine reichhaltige Alpenflora und -fauna. Der Aufstieg ist lang und beschwerlich, aber der Ausblick beim Gipfelkreuz, entschädigt für die Strapazen.

Auch ohne "Gipfelsieg" ist er besonders reizvoll: man braucht nur die traumhafte Landschaft auf sich wirken zu lassen.

Popis trasy Ybbstaler Hütte (hut) - Dürrenstein - Goldaugraben

From the car park you walk on a forest road for about 5 minutes and turn right at a fork and continue on a steep ascending forest trail. The path leads through the Almwald (forest) up to the hunting lodge at the intersection Dürreck. Here the forest road crosses a gravel road. At this junction the trail continues another 30 meters straight and then immediately turns left and uphill on a forest road.

Shortly onwards one comes across on the right side of the trail a little spring. From here the trail continues until into it becomes a forest road, from where one continues left for about 600 meters to the next fork. Here the road leads to the right in the direction of an Almgatter (gate). After passing the gate, the trail continues slightly uphill to a signpost pointing left onto a footpath. Following this walk uphill and the signs, one reaches the Ybbstalerhütte (cabin) (1343 m above sea level)

From the Ybbstalerhütte (cabin) there are various connecting routes:

1.      Noten (1640 m above sea level), Walking time: about 1 hour to the summit

2.      Dürrensteingipfel (summit) (1878 m above sea level), Walking time: about 2 hours to the summit (see Lunzer Dürrenstein-Route 7)

3.      Descent past the Grünloch (greenhole) (1300 m above sea level, measured temperatures of up to -54,2 °C) to the settlements Lehen (590 m above sea level, Lunz), Walking time: about 2 1/2 hours.

Refreshed and strengthened, the way leads back to the crossroads where a signpost reads in the direction of Stiegengraben. One follows this steep downhill path to the end of a forest road where there is a small hunting lodge and a former gravel extraction site. On the road one goes about 100m, crossing a creek where after a sign the road leads down to the Goldausgräben (ditches). Following the directions, one crosses the small stream immediately thereafter. This is followed soon by yet another crossing of a somewhat larger stream the Hagenbach, on a bridge made of logs. As of now the trail leads for a short distance uphill. Continuing on, the trail leads down the Goldaugraben (ditch), passing under an aqueduct to the settlement of the Hagenbach. From now on, the trail continues along the asphalt road through the village to the junction of the main valley. Immediately after the intersection one crosses two bridges and turns then left onto the forest road, which is also used as a cycling and hiking trail. After about 1 km at a hairpin bend the trail takes one left up an increase, down into the "Not" (562 m above sea level). After a short climb, turn right on the paved road and return to the starting point.
