Summit tour: From Waldbach to the Hochwechsel

We start in the municipality of Waldbach at Gasthof zur Post. On the main road towards Mönichwald we turn left after approx. 500 m towards Breitenbrunn, Hochwechsel and continue straight ahead for approx. 2 km. Pass the Kumpfmühle on the right and continue for approx. 1 km until you reach a sharp left-hand bend, where you turn right towards Meisterhofer vlg. Kroner.  We continue straight on for approx. 1.3 km until we come to a stable. Here we turn right and cross a small bridge. From now on it goes uphill. At the sharp S-bend (signpost Pockreiter Erhard) we continue left, at the next junction (Arzberger family) we also keep left. Now the route continues flat for a while and we can enjoy a wonderful distant view. We pass the farm of the Krogger family and reach a crossroads where we turn right onto the Hochwechselstraße. After approx. 3.5 km we reach the Rabl-Kreuz-Hütte excursion destination, continue straight ahead and after another approx. 5 km we reach our destination, the Hochwechsel.
