Directions: We hike from the center of the village via Schießstattgasse to Buschniggweg (also called Sebastiani or Rosenkranzweg). After about 5 minutes we turn right onto trail 694 and hike through the forest and along numerous switchbacks to the mountain station (1,270m).
After a rest in the mountain inn or at the Pfanni in the Edelweißhütte, we continue on trail 694 to the Habertheuersattel and then turn left onto trail 692. At the fork in the Habertheuer (option straight ahead to St. Sebastian or right to Mitterbach) we keep left and follow the Sebastiani Rosenkranzweg, past the Holzknechthütte and along the rosary stations to Mariazell.

An emergency kit belongs in every backpack!

A clothing according to the "onion system" is always recommended!

A good hiking boot is a good companion and should never be missing on the mountain!Do not forget a blister plaster just in case!

Tips: Don't forget to visit the woodcutter's land located at the mountain station. Work processes from bygone times have been recreated here and give an interesting insight into the life of the lumberjacks of yesteryear.
