In the Rusel hiking center, the GEHsundheitsweg (Health Trail) is a circular hiking route that leads from the Ruselabsatz parking area to the Geßingerstein. From this 874-meter-high natural monument dating back to the Ice Age, you have a panoramic view across the Danube plain to the Alps. The trail continues over the Königstein (850 meters) with views into the Lallinger …

I set off at 9:00 a.m. from the Ruselabsatz car park in the fog. It was wonderful! It was so quiet! I only met one couple on the whole route. I was one with nature. It was so quiet, amazing! Unfortunately, the visibility from the Geßingerstein was poor because of the fog!

Due to the limited time available today, I only managed a short walk on the health trail near Rusel. Unfortunately, the paths were quite slippery in places due to icy conditions. If you stepped off the marked trail, you sank into the deep snow. Nevertheless, it was a lovely walk with great ideas for improving your health and beautiful views.
