    Hiking

    October 31, 2017 - You can watch the wild Schwechat from the rest area, the bike bridge was renovated (43/2017) and is now passable again.

    Opposite the Scharfeneck is one of the spookiest places in the Helenental valley, the "Urtelstein". Here the Schwechat forms the so-called "whirlpool" which often pulled coachmen, horses and wagons down into the depths. Before the breakthrough was blown in 1826, the road had to overcome the steep rock. This led to crashes again and again, especially in winter. 😊👍

    Hiking

    The ascent continues, but only becomes really steep at the short Brennersteig. Beware of moisture and leaf fall, then there is a risk of slipping, especially in the fall. Attention: The signposts lead above all the name "iron gate", although the summit loud cards "Hoher Lindkogel" means.
