Day 3: Strobl – Bürgl Panorama Trail and on to St. Wolfgang
A scenic dream tour along Lake Wolfgang. A beautiful hiking trail leads through the Blinklingmoos nature reserve to Strobl and on via the Bürglpromenade to the start of the long wooden walkways that lead around the Bürglstein rock. Continue along the beautiful lake promenade to St. Wolfgang.
In St. Wolfgang, the famous Schafbergbahn railway invites you to visit St. Wolfgang's local mountain. Boat trip from St. Wolfgang to Abersee.
Hiking: approx. 4-5 hours (16 km, ascent 200 m in height)
Day 4: to the Bleckwand scarp, high above the lake
Right next to the hotel, you hike from the Zinkenbach river delta towards the mighty rock face and begin the ascent.
Continuing steadily uphill, partly on trails and partly on forest roads, you hike higher and higher and arrive at the Bleckwandhütte hut after about 3 hours. But the highlight is still ahead of you.
Continuing uphill, you reach the summit of the Bleckwand and the impressive rock arch, through which you have a unique view of Lake Wolfgang. The perfect place for a souvenir photo. Afterwards, you hike back to the hut and spend the night there. (1 night)
Hiking: 4 hours (approx. 80 km, ascent 970 m in height / descent: 200 m in height)
Day 5: Descent back to the valley
From the hut, the trail leads back down the same path you took yesterday.
Once you reach the valley, it is unfortunately time to say goodbye. Or you can stay longer in the region if you wish—there is still much to discover.
Hike: approx. 2 hours (5,5 km, ascent 0 m / descent 800 m)
