Description: This is a strenuous tour due to the numerous ups and downs, and there is also a section along the Hochkar-Dürrenstein-Ötscher Alpine Tour. The tour falls into the category of extensive mountain hiking and sure-footedness is a prerequisite here. There is an additional difficulty on this tour: due to the uneven terrain throughout, it is difficult to keep your concentration even after many hours of walking. Sometimes, one needs the hands to climb this tour. This tour is suitable for fit and wilderness loving hikers.
Directions: Starting from Klaus, follow the forest road next to the Lassing river downhill for about 250 m, then on the right-hand side there is a small alpine path with the trail number 288, which initially leads steeply up through meadows and woods. It becomes a little flatter, you come to a beech forest and later you cross a small stream. The path leads up to the Tremel and is not very busy. It is advisable to take a bush-knife with you, as large thistles grow in late summer in a relatively long time along the ascent path. If one chooses the ascent to the Dürrenstein at the Tremel, one still has an extensive mountain tour in front of one. Always along the ridge it goes endlessly up and down; partly with very good views. The alpine tour Hochkar Dürrenstein is quite well overgrown and partly there are trees along the way. From Sperridl to summit Dürrenstein the path becomes steep and finally you arrive at the Dürrenstein summit and enjoy the wonderful view over the foothills of the Alps. One takes the same long way back again.
Alternative: It is advisable to descend to the Ybbstalerhütte in Lower Austria, where you will find refreshment and overnight accommodation.

Walking time Dürrensteingipfel to Ybbstalerhütte: about 2 hours

The Tremel is a junction and the lowest point in the alpine tour Hochkar - Dürrenstein. From the Tremel you can also make a crossing into the Steinbach valley to Göstling an der Ybbs. The descent into the Steinbach valley is also very difficult and steep. The view from the Tremel is not very good.
Highest point: 1,863 m
Endpoint: Ybbstalerhütte
Height profile
Equipment: Sturdy hiking boots or good trekking shoes, as well as a hiking rucksack with appropriate contents (water bottle, first aid, hiking map, sun protection, snack, etc.). You should also be well prepared for a change of weather. Mobile phone for emergency call. For the overnight stay in the huts do not forget your sleeping bag.
Safety instructions: No water along the ridge tour. Drinking water rather only to be found in the valley.
Absolute surefootedness and complete freedom from vertigo are absolutely necessary. Climbing experience is useful, insured passages must also be mastered on the descent.

Emergency call mountain rescue: 140 tips for emergency reporting - answer the six W questions: What happened? How many injured? Where did the accident happen (possibly GPS coordinates)? Who is reporting (callback number)? When did the accident happen? Weather at the scene of the accident?
Tips: Be sure to plan a descent to the Ybbstalerhütte and reserve your overnight stay there.
The tour takes place mainly in the NÖ / ST border area. You will encounter a rustic area where old trees and plants, special mushroom and animal species are very well hidden. At the Tremel, you will look into the wilderness area Dürrenstein (protected area on Lower Austria side).
