Long-distance hike Eagle Walk Stage 06: Pinegg - Steinberg am Rofan

We listen to ourselves, how do the legs feel? Heavy and painful or acceptable and light. The truth is probably in the middle - so let's start the sixth stage, which takes us from idyllic Pinegg to the "most beautiful end of the world": Steinberg am Rofan - any lows in fitness are compensated for today with a dumpling snack at lunchtime.

Description

Route description: From Pinegg, you cross two bridges - the Brandenberger Ache and then the Steinberger Ache - for the first ascent of this stage. It first runs along a hiking trail, then along the forest road to the Jägersteig trail which leads to Aschau, a district of Brandenberg. You walk through the small village center on the main road until shortly before the Haaser inn. From here, walk up the Burgstallgraben to the last farm "Wimm". After the pasture, turn right and follow the signs to the Wimmerjoch. Here, at the highest point of the stage, it is worth taking a short break on the green alpine meadows.

Then keep left and hike downhill towards the Lahnalm. Follow the signs to Weißenbachgraben just before the alpine pasture. As soon as you have crossed the Weißenbach, the border stream between Brandenberg and Steinberg, it is only a short walk to the Enterhof, a stately farmhouse with overnight accommodation. Leave it to the left and follow the road down into the Steinberger Loch, crossing the Steinberger Ache for the second time on this stage. Then take the first right onto the Hinterbergweg. Follow this to the north as far as Vordersteinberg, cross the road and continue to the Bärenwaldweg. Now just follow this path and enjoy the end of the day's hiking in the idyllically situated Gasthof Waldhäusl snack station on the western outskirts of Steinberg. Comfortable overnight accommodation is available here and at Haus Abendstein.
