Small but mighty - the Poppenberg in Hinterstoder in the Pyhrn-Priel region
From the Explorer Hotel Hinterstoder, cross the cable car parking lot to exit at the Kneipp facilities. Follow the path along the Steyr River on the right to the Schachingersteg bridge and cross the river there.
Now follow the Flötzerweg path to the right to the next bridge. Cross the Steyr River again and the following road. On the opposite side, the steep climb up the Poppenberg begins. At the end of the serpentine path, you emerge from the forest to rocks with benches for resting.
Above this, the 'Stoderblick' viewpoint (810 m) awaits. From here, you have wonderful views over the valleys and the impressive mountain panoramas of the surrounding area.
The trail now continues east along a gently sloping forest road. The following paths lead past mountain farms and circumnavigate the Steyrsberg. After passing these farms, a hiking trail leads through the forest down to the Tambergau district.
Here, cross the main road and the Steyr River over the Sagemeister Bridge and hike upstream along the Flötzsteig Trail. On the way back to Hinterstoder, you'll pass the Strumboding Waterfall. Following the river, you'll reach the Schachingersteig Trail, where you'll cross the Steyr River one last time to return to the hotel.
