Sunday 14 October 2018: Knofelebengraben Scramble & Repast

*Description:*A VIC hiking club favorite by the Schneeberg. The hike starts with a climb of over 700m, scrambling at times over loose rock and areas secured with metal cables. The effort is well rewarded by lunch at the Naturfreundehaus Knofeleben (former Friedrich Haller Haus). Continuing, we pass through the Eng (more rocks and cables) and the village of Schneedoerfl, finishing at the train station in Payerbach-Reichenau.
