Access to the starting point:
Drive through the Karavanke Tunnel into Austria and continue along the Turkish Autobahn past Salzburg. Leave the motorway at the exit for Mondsee, which is bypassed along the east coast. Continue towards Attersee, where you immediately turn right and follow the road along the southern and then the eastern shore of the lake to Weißenbach am Attersee. Park in one of the car parks along the main road or the road that branches off towards Bad Ischl.
Path description:
In Weißenbach there are several very well marked trailheads at Mahdlgupf (markers for Schoberstein) - find the nearest one and get on your way. The paths join at the Chapel of St. Nicholas, where the climb begins. The path climbs serpentinely through the forest, and just before leaving the forest, the path briefly dips. Then the serpentine ascent continues, helped in part by a series of steel cables. A signpost at the saddle points right back into the forest. Continue climbing serpentinely to the next signpost just below the summit, where you continue to the left.
The whole route is very well marked.
