Nature park entrance Eibenboden: Vorderen Tormäuer - Nestelbergrunde

From the nature park entrance Eibenboden (445 m) go up the access road to the Eibenhöfe a bit, at the first hairpin turn turn right onto a forest path to the Eibenmühle. Then a short descent and continue along the Erlauf past the Hundsbachfall to the footbridge under the Trefflingfall (474 m, ¾ hr).
Then cross the following Toreckklamm, only a few meters wide, on a path carved into the rock. Continue 20 minutes upstream to the fork Kirchensteig/Nestelberg – from here via Nestelberg and the Brennwiese onto the "Kassteig". Descent to the former Nestelbergmühle and return to Eibenboden (approx. 2 hrs)

Hiking clothing, sturdy footwear, drink

Please inform yourself in advance about possible path and road closures in the Ötscher-Tormäuer Nature Park. You can find this at https://www.naturpark-oetscher.at/aktuelles-top-informiert-im-naturpark

A paid parking lot is located directly at the nature park entrance Eibenboden - day ticket for cars €5

The income from parking management benefits the maintenance of the nature park. (at the parking meter, only coin payment possible)

As an option for a further march, a route from the Toreckklamm to the Gerstl house at Strudeleck and from there to Nestelberg (an additional 1 hour) is recommended.

Along the Erlauf there are occasional bays to cool tired feet.

A detour to the Trefflingfall, the highest waterfall in the country, is also worth it!
