The Rosalia circular hiking route can be completed in two, three, four, or more days depending on interests and physical condition. It is signposted in both directions. Due to the many gastronomy and accommodation businesses, various route variants are possible.

Always take suitable maps with you. Wear sturdy shoes adapted to the route, bring sun and rain protection as well as water and a snack. Take your mobile phone and save the mountain rescue emergency number: 140

Your hikes in the Vienna Alps should be a thoroughly beautiful and safe experience. Please therefore note the following:

Preparation

Make sure when choosing the route that it matches your mountain experience and fitness. Inform yourself beforehand about the weather forecast. Weather in the mountains can change surprisingly quickly. Therefore, always set out properly equipped (e.g. rain protection).

Check whether the huts and snack stations you want to visit are open. Inform someone about your chosen route and your planned return before you go.
