Description

This is a quite easy hike along the rivers Enns and Mandling that leads you along the water, over fields and through the narrow cut of "Mandlinggraben" up to the water reservoir. Further on the hike you reach a nice plateau where "Mandlberggut" is situated. The distillery is well-known for its high-quality Schnaps and "Rock-Whisky". The last part of the hike again runs along the river Enns back to Gleiming.

Directions

From Hotel-Gasthof Brunner you walk along Gleimingstraße towards the highway for a bit, before you turn off left onto the hiking & biking trail just after crossing the bridge over the Enns river. You follow the trail for about 2 km to the village of Mandling. Passing Gasthof Taferne and the loden manufacturer Steiner1888 you cross the bridge over the Mandling creek. After the bridge you make a right and - passing by bakery Lasser - follow the Mandling creek towards Filzmoos. The idyllic  trail runs along the creek until you reach Grahsteig at the water reservoir (for IVV-hikers there is a checkpoint at this location).

Via an ascending path through the forest you now follow the trail towards South until you reach the Mandlberggut. From there you descend back to the village of Mandling. Passing the chapel and Gasthof Geringer you make a right using the underpass of the highway B320. Walking on through the residential area and passing Johnson & Johnson you follow the signage of path n° 100 and cross a bridge over Enns river again. Take a left and follow path n° 100 along the Enns back to your starting point at Hotel-Gasthof Brunner in Gleiming.

Equipment

A well-packed backpack is helpful and especially when touring Alpine terrain a tuque, gloves, a windproof jacket and pants are standard equipment. Good, waterproof shoes, sun glasses, sun cream and sufficient beverages are essential too. Torch light, a map of the area, knie and a small first-aid kit should also be in the backpack.

Safety instructions

Changes in weather patterns, quick falls in temperature, thunderstorms, wind, fog and snow are some of the dangers that can be encountered on a hiking tour. Hosts of alpine huts and mountain refuges have a lot of experience in the mountains and can give good advice about weather and the trails. Poor equipment, overestimation of one's own capabilities, carelessness, poor personal constitution and/or wrong judgement  can lead to critical situations. In case of thunderstorms: avoid summits, ridges and steel ropes.

Available GPS data - just like hiking maps - is only a guidance for orientation and can never depict a trail exactly with all its details. Especially at dangerous spots it is essential to judge on site how to proceed.

In an emergency please call:

Tips

Make a stop at Mandlberggut and taste the awarded "Rock Whisky".
