Route numbers 713 and 712
Turn left out of the “Grafenbergbahn” mountain terminal, follow the Bee
Discovery Trail, passing the Grafenberg lake then heading down to the high
ropes course. Here the path follows a slight incline and then splits into two.
You should take the left fork, leading to the climbing wall then on to the
Swinging Forest. Continue along the path to the left where a moderate climb
leads you up to a saddle which connects you to route number 712 leading
up to the Auhofalm. You then take another left following a steep slope to the
secondary summit of the Gabel (Kitzstein), then continuing along the ridge
to the summit. From the southeast face you will descend to another saddle
– walk along the right-hand side of the next elevation where you will reach a
cut in the rock which then links you to the northern ridge of the Penkkopf.
The quickest way to reach the Kleinarler Hütte is to take the next left, following a gentle descent down the northeast face of the mountain. The well
signposted downward trail to Kleinarl leads from the Kleinarler Hütte along
either a forest trail or along the old hut trail, through a wide band of trees
then over Hirschleiten and down into the valley. From here you can take the
Wanderbus (hiker’s bus) back to the car park in Grafenberg.
Walking times Mountain terminal – Gabel, two and a half hours;
Gabel-Kleinarlerhütte one hour; Kleinarlerhütte – Kleinarl two hours
Route number 722
From the Jägersee car park you can either drive or walk up the flat forest road
(toll road) to the Schwabalm. This is where the real ascent to the Tappenkarsee begins. Your path will first lead you through bright woodland, later
turning into a relatively steep, winding trail which will take you up to the lake.
You then follow the lake until it reaches the Alpine pasture and opens out
into a wide basin. Halfway along the Tappenkarsee (source of the the Kleinarler Ache) is the Tappenkarsee Alpine pasture and a little higher up is the
Tappenkarseehütte. The Tappenkarsee is located in an area of outstanding
natural beauty and is the highest mountain lake in the Eastern Alps.
Walking times Jägersee – Schwabalm, one hour, Schwabalm –
Tappenkarsee, two hours; Tappenkarsee – Jägersee, three hours

bike tours, horseriding…
Set on top of Gernkogel mountain overlooking the town of Johann-Alpendorf,
Geisterberg is home to a world of friendly ghosts. Take the gondola lift up
ghost mountain and ride the ghost train. Amongst the panoramic scenery
there’s something for all the family; a ghost walk with games for the little ones,
long slides and swings to keep the older kids happy, and a wonderful Alpine
walk for parents. Spirits of earth, fire, water and air accompany you on your
journey, and swings, a bird’s nest rope climbing frame, a climb-on dragon and
water games also make for fun along the way. Some of
Ghost Mountain and its trails is accessible to buggies.
The Geisterberg mountain fun park and ghost train
are open from 07 June – 12 October, 2014.
To get there take the Alpendorf Gondelbahn lift.
