Sunset hike from St. Wolfgang to Vormauerstein
A recommended mountain route awaits hiking enthusiasts of all ages on the Vormauerstein, which impresses with a breathtaking view of Wolfgangsee and its surroundings. The last 20 meters in elevation are interspersed with rocks and occasionally require the use of hands for climbing. Absolute sure-footedness and a head for heights are recommended at the summit.
The Schafberg🐑⛰️ at Wolfgangsee is known to many as a unique viewpoint mountain, but the Vormauerstein connected to the Schafberg by a ridge remains a hidden gem.🤫
The hike to the Vormauerstein is undoubtedly one of the highlights of the Schafberg area.🤩 From the summit, you get a breathtaking view of Wolfgangsee, Attersee, and the majestic surrounding mountains. A hike to the Vormauerstein thus promises not only an impressive nature experience but also a look at the lesser-known yet equally fascinating sides of this idyllic region.💙

Directions
The hike starts directly in the village, right at the bus stop 📍St. Wolfgang in the Salzkammergut Au. The path leads left up the street toward Vormauralm. After about 20 minutes you reach the forest road, which you follow further. Most of the path runs through the forest and is partly a bit steep, but not particularly difficult to walk. The path itself is very beautiful and repeatedly offers benches for a short rest where you can enjoy nature and the magnificent view of Wolfgangsee.🌿 You follow the forest road until you reach the Vormaueralm. Past the huts, turn right toward the summit of Vormauerstein. For the last short section, you should be sure-footed – it is not a very difficult passage, but caution is advised. After the short scramble, you will be rewarded with a wonderful view of Wolfgangsee and the surrounding mountains. ❗️Especially with children, caution is advised at the summit area due to the risk of falling. Return to the starting point via the same route.
