Class C 6

Sunday, 3 July 2016: Obersberg (Ahornsberg) (1467m)

Description: This is beautiful hike in the remote area between Gippel, Rax and Schneeberg, actually around 1000 m up.

Route: Schwarzau im Gebirge – Obersberg – Waldfreundehaus (early lunch) – Haselecker – Eckbauer – Preinmühle – following Preinbach – Naßwald – Raxkönig (late lunch or afternoon tea/snack), from there by bus back to Payerbach

Map: Wiener Hausberge, page 20 and 24

Meet: 6:20 at Wien Meidling, train leaves at 6:37 in direction to Payerbach. This has the advantage of 1) you may enter the train in another station in Vienna, e.g., Praterstern, Wien Mitte, etc; 2) we can use Einfach-Raus tickets.
Alternatively you can get the railjet leaving at 7:05 in direction to Graz, change in Wiener Neustadt (please double-check, but I believe the train to Payerbach will be on the same platform in Wiener Neustadt, on the opposite track). For the railjet buy return ticket Wien- Payerbach.
Arrival Payerbach at 8:08, from there by bus to Schwarzau im Gebirge

Return: around 18:55 in Wien Meidling (with railjet), or about 20 minutes later with REX

Cost: around 17 Euros with Vorteilscard with railjet, plus bus tickets. Einfach Raus ticket will be around 9 or 10 Euros.

Registration: by 1 July 2016. Please let me know if you join at Meidling for the train at 6:37 or if you opt for the railjet. If you join at another station, let me know if you need to be included in the Einfach Raus ticket.

Note: it is partly a steep ascent/descent, bring sticks as the soil may be muddy.
