The tour
Hiking along the Enns - both in summer and winter a popular alternative for those who don't always want to go to the mountains. In winter you can feel the silence and magic of the frozen Enns, while you walk from Stein an der Enns, past the Spreizerteich towards Pruggern and on to Aich. Of course, the route can also be started from Aich.

Equipment
In winter, caution is advised even on seemingly easy hikes. In shady areas, the ground can be slightly icy, and there may be avalanche danger below slopes. Mountaineering is therefore primarily a matter of personal responsibility – even more so in winter. Tourist associations and avalanche warning services assume no liability whatsoever based on the information provided.
