Tirolerkogel, Annaberg's local mountain

Description

The pre-Alpine route Annaberg - Tirolerkogel is considered a moderately difficult, varied, and very scenic hike, also well suited for families. From the highest point of Tirolerkogel (1,377 m), hikers enjoy a magnificent panoramic view of Ötscher, Dürrenstein and Gemeindealpe, Gippel, Göller, Schneeberg, and the Hochschwab group.

Snowshoers, ski tourers, and tobogganers have also discovered the route for themselves.

The Annaberger House rewards hikers with refreshments. The shelter is open year-round, closed on Mon. and Tue.
Sleds can also be rented at the Annaberger House - advance reservation is recommended (T +43 2728 20459)!

Route description Tirolerkogel, Annaberg's local mountain

The well-marked route leads from the parking lot directly on the B20 in front of Annaberg along the "Am Gscheid" trail to Tirolerkogel and back again. We start from the Tirolerkogel parking lot east of Annaberg on a gravel road comfortably up to the “Gscheid.” Here, left soon climbing more steeply to Bergecke and into the “Specktal” (interesting folds in the Gutenstein limestone on the left side of the path), where we soon reach the Halter hut. Now cutting off the road bends left straight across the slope covered with weather-resistant trees with an increasingly magnificent view to the Annaberger House.

The same route leads back to the starting point, alternatively also by toboggan!
