Kreuzberg Rotmauer Trail - Weyer

Description:
 Beautiful, technically easy circuit with 14.4 km and 616 m elevation gain.

Directions:
We start at the railway station in Weyer. We pass through the subway and immediately reach the start of the Kreuzbergweg trail. The beautifully laid out path does not lead us steeply uphill to the three crosses, which we reach after about 3 kilometres. We then descend until we reach a road which we follow. Signposts for Panoramarunde and Rotmäuer show us the right way. We branch off to the left along the "Kochlöffl" goods road and from here we walk up to the Rotmäuer on beautiful forest paths and trails. Once there, a fantastic view of the Enns Valley awaits us. From here we head back towards Kreuzberg. We return to our starting point at the railway station in Weyer via a fort road and paths with a variety of ups and downs.

Tip:
There is a drinks crate at the summit of the Rotmäuer, please take money with you.

Equipment:
The required equipment always depends on the particular tour and the weather conditions. Regarding the food: This is very individual and it is recommended to have rather too much than too little with equipment and food. For a 5km round in the valley you need less than for a demanding tour in the mountains. The weather can change quickly and if you are not constantly on the move or need to take a break, for example, warming clothing is of great importance. 

 

We have a general checklist for you here:
