- Insider tip
The Reichraminger Hintergebirge is one of the most beautiful and largest primeval landscapes in Austria. The so-called "Große Bach" (Great Brook) flows through the central part (in its lower course called "Reichraming" and in its upper course also called "Schwarzer Bach"), on which wood used to be rafted (drifted).
Between the Schleierfall and the Annerlsteg is the narrowest and most interesting part of the gorge, which was made passable again by the "Triftsteig" (via ferrata), renovated in 1987 with steel ropes and clamps. The via ferrata partly follows the old course of the Triftsteig, which at that time was only equipped with narrow wooden footbridges, and thus gives an idea of the dangerous work of the wooden raftsmen of that time (remains of the old footbridge can still be seen today).
Directions:The actual via ferrata is about 2 km long, well secured and leads along the right (eastern) bank of the stream through the gorge in a very varied and scenic way. The route is very exposed and narrow in places, often wet due to watercourses running across it.
Time required: "Triftsteig": 1 - 1.5 hours.
On the opposite side of the gorge, the forest road in the valley (former route of the narrow-gauge railway for timber transport, which only ceased operation in 1971) leads through several long tunnels (take a torch if necessary) back to the starting point of the "Triftsteig".
access: on foot from the Weißwasser car park to Schleierfall in approx. 1 hour
by mountain bike from Anzenbach to Schleierfall in approx. 2 hours.
Return route options:
Through the tunnels along the Hintergebirgsradweg.Ascent along the Hochschlachtbach stream (very beautiful, but very strenuous!, deep views to the Triftsteig) to the Anlaufalm and over the Hirschkogelsattel to the starting point (highly recommended for hikers with stamina!).
On the Hintergebirgsradweg cycle path to Weißwasser or Mooshöhe.
Tip:For children and the less experienced, basic via ferrata equipment and possibly a short safety rope (for children) is recommended.Safety guidelines:
Check the weather forecast before starting the tour. In summer, approaching thunderstorms in the Hintergebirge are often seen too late. There is no exit along the Triftsteig. Surefootedness and a head for heights - only for experienced hikers!
