The Stössinger Hegerbergweg via Goin, Stollberg and Hochstrass is one of the most enjoyable hikes to this popular Excursion destinations. The varied tour with the best views in all directions leads us past gems and secretly located old farmsteads.
We go a long way to get from Stössing to the Hegerberg - but the path is easy and our reward is great. We enjoy changing views on the ascent, the former monastery and today's seminar hotel Refugium Hochstrass to the west, Stössing and Hochgschaid to the north and the Schöpflkamm to the west. Passing new and old farms, we rest above Goin next to a chapel and a magnificent service tree. Via the hidden Bols estate, we reach the Zum Kreuzwirt inn, known for its excellent home cooking. Further on, our mental well-being is nourished - the lovely Hochstraß winds its way through a special piece of wild service tree country. Centuries-old farmsteads with their extensive orchards, species-rich woodland, long hedges of cornelian cherry, hazel, hawthorn, hornbeam (ugs: Zeilert) and charming groups of trees have an effect on us. The cultivated landscape created by forest farmers over many generations is not just pleasing to the eye. We arrive at the Hegerberg and the Johann Enzinger Schutzhaus, where we can also linger and enjoy hearty home cooking with the best panoramic views. For the descent to Stössing, we can choose between the descent of the Stössing circular hike or the hike to Stössing via Freiling.
The Hegerberg shelter is currently closed. It is expected to reopen under new management from 1.1.2022.
Normal hiking equipment
The hiking route Stössing - Hegerberg begins in the town center at the municipal office in Stössing. The path leads us from the town square at the fountain on the Landeshauptstraße towards Brand-Laaben, after about 300 m we turn right towards Stollberg. After about 150 m, we go left uphill on the Mayerhofer farm road. The paved road takes us past the Grabenbauer property and a beautiful settlement, further uphill we reach a newly built farmstead and then the Moarhof with a mighty ash tree as the house tree. From there, continue straight over a meadow path past an idyllic group of willows, around a gentle hill and through a "flat saddle" to the last farmstead, Strutzenberger, up to Goin. Now we hike the meadow path uphill to the right to a small chapel associated with a service tree. We continue to the Bols farmstead, reach the main road and straight on to the Zum Kreuzwirt inn at Stollberg. Refreshed, we ascend the slightly rising Hochstraße farm road west of the Kreuzwirt. The peaceful Hochstraße first leads us past picturesque farmsteads with their drying houses, then winding through a small forest. Passing Sonnleiten, the Goiner and the Schererbauer farms, after about 4 km from Stollberg, we arrive at the Dolln property with a view toward Michelbach. Now we leave the romantic Hochstraße and climb to the right, well marked, over a "Hoid" and a short stretch of road into the forest and behind the rest bench into it. Soon we come to a fork, where we keep right to reach the monastery chapel after the spruce and maple cultivation. From the chapel, we hike left, northward, on a meadow path into the forest. Gently uphill, the path takes us past a colorful windbreak belt, with the Prinzbauer property in sight. Continuing on the path, we cross a wooded hill down to the Hegerberg Saddle and to the Hegerbergstraße, which leads us up to the destination of our hike.
