Family Hike - St. Oswald
This family hike starts at the Brunnach Biosphere Reserve. From the Explorer Hotel Bad Kleinkirchheim, it's only a 10-minute drive to the starting point.
After ascending on the Brunnach Biosphere Reserve cable car, the trail leads you up to the Mallnock. At the beginning of the tour, take a left turn to the "Red Castle." From here, you have a fantastic view of the so-called "Black Castle"—named because iron was once mined here. Once at the "Red Castle," continue toward Pfannock and, after a while, reach the beautiful Pfannsee. From Pfannsee, the trail continues toward Arkersattel and continues, always following the path to the St. Oswalder Bockhütte.
Buddy's Tip: At the Oswalder Bockhütte, you should definitely try the delicious Kaiserschmarrn with "Grantn" (sweet pancakes) – perfect for recharging your batteries 😋.
From the St. Oswalder Bockhütte, you can reach the Brunnach Biosphere Park cable car in half an hour. Quick, one last look at the surrounding mountains before heading back to the Kirchheim Valley.
