Opis drogi Hike up the Schöpfl and the Gföhlberg
Starting at Laaben town hall, we will head east. At the first turn-off, we will turn right (onto Sackgasse) and follow the red route (WWW 04). We will continue for approx. 700 m through a meadow, until we reach the first farm yard, and walk down the goods road to the Icelandic horse farm. Once there, we will turn right. At the edge of the forest, we will go up the “Heinrich-Gith-Steig” or the “Pensionisten-Steig”. We will pass the Schöpfl-Schutzhaus inn and the Matras-Warte lookout post, and continue along the ridge of the Schöpfl (red & blue routes), down to the country road, and walk approx. 900 m to Café Klammhöhe. Our route will now take us up through the forest, to the Gföhlberghütte inn (on the Juneberry Trail), and then up to the Gföhlberg summit. At the next turn-off, we will turn left and follow the blue route to the end of the Juneberry Trail. Further on, the route (blue, No. 622) joins WWW 04, which leads back onto the country road. We will follow it for a while, before turning right after the castle, passing the black cross (on the green route) and finding ourselves back in Laaben.
