© Helwig Hauser Starting from Taferlklaussee (763m), we first ascended to Hochleckenhaus (1574m) via a well-marked path (note: the start is somehow unclear -- mostly due to many other small trails near and around Taferlklausssee). After a nice and refreshing rest at Hochleckenhaus -- yes, with served food and drinks! :-) -- we descended towards Steinbach am Attersee (via Geissalm and Stieg -- the 2nd option for hiking to Steinbach), which offers terrific views -- not at the least to Attersee! The path down from Höllengebirge is (partially) steep and it's hundreds of meters straight down next to the path in selected places (you better are not afraid of heights there). All in all, a great hike! :-) Selected photos are available as a Google photo album .

From the top, we then descended first towards the nearby Himmelspforte (in northwestern direction). There, we then started the real descent, which indeed is quite steep on the northern side of Schafberg, at least in the beginning. We followed the Himmelspfortenweg downwards, passing by Suissensee, and rounding another ridge to get to Mittersee, a nice little lake underneath the majestic Schafberg. From there, we continued further along this path, getting very close to Mönichsee, before we eventually got (back) to the southwestern side of Schafberg, heading down towards St. Wolfgang. We quickly arrived at the Auerriesenweg, which we then followed down until we basically were >>>
