High-altitude route from Thalgau to Mondsee
A VERY SUNNY AND SCENIC HIGH-ALTITUDE HIKE FROM THALGAUBERG TO KOLOMANSBERG AND ON TO MONDSEE.
The route is long, but you should definitely plan some sightseeing time both for Thalgau and the destination Mondsee. The most interesting sights in both towns are described in detail, the gastronomy is excellent in both places, and the attractive half-hourly bus service allows generous time planning. The first part of the sunny hike leads with rapid altitude gain from the town of Thalgau over the romantic high plateaus at Thalgauberg, then continues in a long, extraordinarily scenic traverse to the southeast ridge of Kolomansberg, and from there past the Leidingerhof to the end point Mondsee.

Directions
From the Thalgau town center bus stop, the route passes the 400-year-old Moser Linden tree and the tourism office and then turns left into Ischlerbahnstraße. Over the Fischach bridge it continues to the pear-chestnut avenue and at its end makes a left curve through the motorway underpass. Then path 34 turns into mixed forest, crosses a fairytale-like clearing higher up, and meets the Reitbauerweg in front of a farm. Along this driveway, turning left once, to the next farm and then again on a meadow path to a solid farming property. Route 34 then follows, turning right once, 500 m along Kolomanstraße to the junction with Thalgaubergstraße. Unfortunately, there is no signpost here, but our route follows Thalgaubergstraße on the right side for another half kilometer to the turnoff to Buchschachstraße. We follow the sunny, now again signposted Panoramaweg 33 past Grundnerhof to the almost highest point Schernthan (925 m). After 300 m the forest road enters the woods, immediately afterward route 8 turns sharply right towards Mondsee. On a partly somewhat muddy path, the way leads to the beautifully situated Leidingerhof restaurant and then follows along the driveway the signposted route 35. The bus terminal is located on the east side of the cemetery.Â
