Trattberg - Loizenwies - Hongar

This scenic hike takes us via Loizenwies to the 943 m high Hongar in Aurach, from where there is a wonderful view over the region. The hike, which partly leads through the forest, is an experience in summer and winter.

This scenic hike leads for the most part through the forest to the Trattberg and Loizenwies. From the parking lot of the former department store Freund in Oberhehenfeld, you reach the Hongar via the Alpenberg on a beautiful high-altitude hike with magnificent panoramic views of the Höllengebirge. The walking time to get there is about two hours. At the summit of the 943 m high Hongar you can enjoy a magnificent view over the region and enjoy regional delicacies at the Gasthof Schwarz am Hongar.

Return via the ascent route back to Schörfling to the starting point at the Kaufhaus Freund/Oberhehenfeld parking lot. The total walking time here is about four hours.

Variant 1:
From Hongar you can also hike directly down to Aurach. Since there is no connection with a public transport from here, there is the possibility to take a cab or also to hike on foot to Schörfling. In this case, the total walking time is 3.5 hours.

Variant 2:
If you want to hike a bit further, you go back from Hongar via the Höhenweg as well as the Alpenberg to the Gahberg. From there you can descend via the Häfelberg back to Schörfling. The total walking time here is about 3.5 hours.
