Schober -Aussichtsplattform mit Seensicht

From the parking lot of the restaurant and hotel "Forsthaus Wartenfels" a short path leads uphill to the first fork. Follow the left path in the direction of the Wartenfels ruins, which can be visited (optional).

At the ruin begins the steep, partly exposed, climb to the Schober, which, although often in the forest, becomes sweaty. Shortly before the Schober summit, there are well-secured ascents that require some head for heights and also surefootedness and good footwear.

At the summit, one enjoys a fantastic panoramic view, as the Schober, isolated from other mountain blocks, towers over the local hills like a viewing platform: the view sweeps, clockwise from east to north, the Mondsee (2 sections), the Attersee, the Wolfgangssee, the Fuschlsee, with some imagination a small foothill of the Wallersee and finally the Irrsee. In the south, the Dachstein glacier can be seen in full width.

Afterwards it goes carefully short and steeply downhill. You pass a shelter hut in the Schobergipfel area and climb again briefly to the right to the Frauenkopf, from whose summit you have a very nice view of the entire Fuschlsee.

Then it goes very steeply down---perhaps with a short branch to a narrow panoramic "Bankerl" below the Frauenkopf. Paying the utmost attention to the path, you follow the steep, partially secured path with steps down to a forest road, which you follow to the parking lot.
