Trip Summary

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! :-)
