In mid-August, amidst an autumnal atmosphere, Shaggy and I headed up the Hohe Mauer.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Mid-August and already autumn? Yes, unfortunately! The hot temperatures in summer pushed nature to its limit \u2013 what looks like autumn was unfortunately actually the result of the long drought. But let's not talk about the climate today, but about the hike. \ud83d\ude04<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Originally I actually planned to go up the Windhagkogel and include the Hohe Mauer only as a stopover \u2013 but upon arriving at the summit of the Hohe Mauer, dark storm clouds were already gathering over the surrounding mountain landscape. Therefore we decided (by we I mean Shaggy and me of course \ud83d\ude04) that we would take the direct route back down. We therefore skipped the Scharnsteiner Spitze (not exactly my favourite peak) \u2013 even though it would have only cost us a 5-minute detour. I have left it in the Komoot tour below for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Almost at the very bottom, we also took in the Scharnsteiner Blick, as we hadn't bagged that peak yet. \u26f0\ufe0f<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To be perfectly equipped, will you find all my equipment and all my recommendations here<\/a>. I'm naturally updating the list all the time. \ud83d\ude00\ud83d\ude4c<\/p>\n\n\n

The hike to the Hohe Mauer in Scharnstein<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We started at the car park by the Scharnstein castle ruins \u2013 from here we headed straight towards the Windhagkogel, which is also signposted. On the way up you also pass a hunting lodge and later a nice cave. The mini-cave is just the thing for a short breather. \ud83e\udd17<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the cave, it's just a few vertical metres to the Hohe Mauer, where you are then rewarded with a brilliant panoramic view. \u26f0\ufe0f<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The descent then takes place via the Scharnsteiner Spitze, the Scharnsteiner Blick and the Scharnstein Castle ruins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
