Russbach, the Austrian hiking village, is a paradise for gourmets, hikers and adventurers. Blossoming alpine meadows invite you to leisurely hikes, wonderful summit and climbing tours in fog-free, almost untouched nature. The magnificent view of the Hoher Dachstein and Tennengebirge accompanies you on all your hikes. Enjoy the good snack in one of the many cozy mountain huts.

From the village square in the direction of the Hornbahn, then follow signs for the “HornRundweg” via the Alte Gschüttstrasse to the Franzl Alm. Now the path takes you uphill to the right across open countryside until you reach a forestry path. Follow this path to a trail fork at the foot of a steep climb leading to the Hornbahn mountain station. At this crossing turn left and continue downhill to Pass Gschütt. Once at the Pass-Gschütt road, make a brief left on the road, then turn left onto the “Alte Gschüttstrasse”, bringing you back to the village square.
