The Königsbergrunde through the enchanting landscape of the Mostviertel region offers fantastic views of the Ybbstal Alps and great views of the Gamsstein, Hochschwab and much more.

From the Hochschlag farmhouse on the partly steep alpine path to the Kitzhütte (open from May to October), past this the path leads down the forest road to the Eisgrabensattel. Here a forest road branches off to the right, leading out of the valley high above the Sandgraben. After approx. 2 km, a hunting trail begins, which requires surefootedness in places and leads out onto the beautifully situated mountain meadow of the Hochau. Following the markings, past the former Hochscheuch farm, the path rejoins the Königsbergstraße at Sattelreith, on which it goes uphill for approx. 400m back to the starting point.
