The favorite hike of our hostel manager

Plombergstein mountain:

Especially children will love this impressive two-hour hike. From the village of St. Gilgen, it goes across the Mondseer main road up through a light beech forest. After a few minutes, you finally reach the rocks. These are crevice and caves formed by rock falls, through which children can climb and crawl.

At the "Teufelsschlucht" you return to the Plombergstein climb. At the summit, at an altitude of 830 meters, you can enjoy a magnificent panorama over the entire Lake Wolfgangsee and the surrounding mountain peaks. The descent leads down the steps to the Staffelgraben, where you can find a climbing garden.
