Obenau-route -- St. Gilgen

A beautifully scenic walk in a high mountain valley.
Car park near the centre – Steinklüft Street.

The starting point is the car park at the Steinklüft Street behind which is the Raintal, a popular place for children to go sledging. Now, going north, the Steinklüftstrasse leads to to the Mondsee Road which you have to cross. Continue on tarmacked service road which winds uphill to the remarkable Plomberg Estate. To the left, in the forest, are the Steinklüfte (ravines). Children find
this trail through the ravines and caves created by rockslides a real adventure and it is very popular. From the Plomberg Estate the road again ascends fairly steeply uphill to the left and leads on an even level to the Obenauer farmstead, a remote farm in a sleepy mountain valley. Return from the Obenauer farmstead via the route you came.
