Description

Start your fascinating hike at the imposing Fernstein Castle. Pass through the castle's old gate and you will be immersed in the past right from the start when you come across the old Roman road. Follow the historic Roman road as you enjoy a breathtaking view of the shimmering turquoise Fernsteinsee lake. The ascent begins here, and the magnificent natural surroundings accompany you at every turn. The Roman road offers a fascinating journey into times long past. Time and again, you can discover wheel tracks from old horse-drawn carriages etched into the stone, bearing witness to the historical significance of this route. Pass the small Schanzlsee lake. The ascent takes you further up to the Fernpasshöhe. This marks the end of your hike.
