For the hike: In the center of Stein an der Enns turn towards St. Nikolai. After approx. 4.5 km, just before Großsölk, turn left to the Koller farmstead and drive another 2 km up the mountain.

The starting point for this hike is Großsölk - the “Koller” estate. From there, a beautiful forest path leads to the “Adambauerhütte” and “Schönwetterhütte”, which are open in summer. The trail continues to the small and rustic “Walchlingerhütte” with a feel-good factor. There you can fortify yourself with delicious desserts and culinary delicacies. The "Ennstaler Steirerkrapfen" with "Steirerkäse", savory and potatoes are a particular highlight. A steep slope takes you to the “Schleinhütte”, a mountain hut built from Sölker marble. Follow the same path back to the Koller farmstead.

Alternatively, you can keep to the right after the Schleinhütte and climb over the Blockfeldspitz to the Gumpeneck!
