Heinrich-Gith Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The Heinrich Gith Steig leads, occasionally also in the fall line, through a tree landscape typical of the Vienna Woods. It is a thoroughly romantic climb in all seasons. But since the Schöpfl belongs to the sandstone Viennese forest, boggy passages are to be expected, especially after more intense rain phases.

Now you've done it right away. Don't drink too much because the beer tastes good too! ;)

Summit cross on Schöpfl

Highlight • Summit

Am Schöpfl recommends the very promising "Matraswarte". After the visual treat, it goes to the Schöpflhütte for culinary delights.

Matras-Warte on the Schöpfl

Highlight • Viewpoint

Once you've made it to the Schöpfl hut, it's only a stone's throw to the Matras waiting room. The control room is now 120 years old and is 893 meters above sea level. So you are on the lookout at over 900 meters. Fantastic view in all directions, rewarding the arduous ascent to the Schöpfl.

Pensioners' Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

For those with "pre-damaged knees", the retirees' path is definitely recommended on the descent. He walks less directly in the fall line than the Heinrich Gith Steig.

Quickly up to the Schöpfl. But this time from Forsthof and over the Heinrich Gith Steig. Not found at the bottom because the signpost was twisted and the beginning of the climb was not recognizable through the trees and snow. Then I turned the signpost a bisl for the next new ones here ;-)

Nice hike that rewards with a wonderful view from the Matras lookout. Up over the Heinrich Gith Steig, down over the (more knee-friendly) Pensionistensteig.

Enjoy the fresh cold air and stop at the shelter 🥰
