Königsberg in den Ybbstaler Alpen

A hiker's paradise and a great tip for cyclists: the long, forested ridge of the Königsberg stretches for about 15 km through the Göstling Alps. Located between Hollenstein an der Ybbs and Göstling, the mountain region offers many beautiful views.

With its rocky step reaching from west to east and several hiking trails, the Königsberg attracts hiking hawks of all levels and ages. Dense forests and lush alpine meadows dominate the picture. Comfortable refuges - Siebenhüttenalm and Kitzhütte - and great excursion highlights make even little fresh-air grumpy hikers quickly enjoy hiking.

Location
Mostviertel/NÖ-Mitte, near Hollenstein (location in the border triangle of NÖ, OÖ, STMK)

Accessibility for hikers & duration
Most of the ascents to Königsberg start from Göstling im Ybbstal. A variant for pleasure hikers and especially families with children is the Königsberg hut hike: by car you first go up the mountain road to the organic farm Kurzeck - and then continue on foot to the Kitzhütte.
