From Hochschneeberg station, the paths on the plateau lead to the three summits of the Schneeberg: the Waxriegel (1,888 m), the Kaiserstein (2,061 m) and the Klosterwappen (2,076 m), the highest point in Lower Austria. There is no technical difficulty in good weather, but it is high-mountain terrain, with no shade and exposed to fog and wind. Time your return so as not to miss the last train down, which in 2026 left at 16:45.
