Wilderness hike (Owl trail with extension to the Tremel)

The starting point is the car park " Rotschild ponds ". The route begins through the iron gate arch to Steinbach. Through Steinbach and past the castle lying somewhat higher on the left side after about 900m. Then it continues along the Windischbach, past the Dr. Karl Lueger tunnel and other structures of the II Vienna high spring water pipeline, gently ascending to Windischbachau (approx. 3.4km at approx. 646m). Up to here, it is family-, stroller- and child-friendly. Now the initially and mid-way steep ascent follows along a partly narrow hiking trail up to the mountain ridge at the Tremel at just under 1,200m above sea level. 

Hiking equipment with provisions and sufficient drinks

From the start of the climb to the Tremel (after the end of the experience stations), surefootedness and hiking footwear are required.

In stormy weather, there is a danger of falling branches and the path must not be used.
