Waldeggのおすすめ登山＆山歩きルート

The Wilhelm-Eichert-Hütte enjoys a scenic location on the ridge above Weidlingbach and is a popular stop in the Eichenhain Nature Park. After the climb, you can rest in the garden or on the terrace and enjoy the view over the Vienna Woods hills and valleys. It's an ideal destination or stopover for hikers, runners, and bikers.

It is run like a hotel, and rooms can also be booked through Booking.com. https://www.booking.com/Share-U46846 Neunkirchen entrepreneur Armin Hohenschläger, with his WirtschaftsService Immobilien company, acquired the Hochkogelhaus on the Hohe Wand a few years ago. Now (2023), the former hotel, which most recently housed a few apartments, has changed hands. It was acquired by Hochkogelhaus Hotel Betriebs GmbH.

The Herrgottschnitzerhaus on the Hohe Wand is a rustic mountain hut that is almost 100 years old and has retained its original charm, apart from a few minor additions. The friendly hosts, the excellent food and the great view were particularly appreciated. Unfortunately, the hut is currently closed and there are no signs of it reopening any time soon.

The Piestinger Cross on the Hohe Wand, right next to the Herrgottschnitzerhaus, towers impressively into the sky and offers a wonderful view. The ascent from Dreistetten often leads over the Einhornhöhle and the challenging Drobilsteig, which offers variety with a few ladders. Whether down the donkey path or with an extended loop - the tour is particularly popular, even with families with children. The cross itself was erected by the founders of the Herrgottschnitzerhaus in memory of fallen comrades who had accidents in the mountains. With a bit of luck, you can escape the fog in the valley here and enjoy the sun - a worthwhile rest stop after an exciting climb!

The Unicorn Cave was closed and locked with a gate.

While hiking, we discovered the idyllic philosopher's bench, which invites you to take a quiet break and reflect.

The house is currently closed. The website says the team is moving? But the view up here is still worth seeing even without catering :) and who knows, maybe a new team will be found soon....
