Map, elevation profile & further information
The hike starts at Schlossplatz Haus, from where you walk down towards the Erlebnisfreibad Haus - there are also parking facilities here if you wish to start directly from there. Passing the swimming pool, continue straight down towards the Enns until you turn left onto the field path after a few minutes. Continue in a westerly direction directly to the Enns and follow it upstream as far as Birnbergstraße. The path now leads you past the eastern side of the Golfplatz Schladming-Dachstein, so that you reach the entrance to the village of Oberhaus at the bakery Steffl-Bäck. Turning left, the route leads back to the village of Haus - a short detour to the right takes you to the restaurant KulmiNarium in Oberhaus.
Take the Ennstalbundesstraße (B320) to Haus im Ennstal and take the exit. Drive through the village to the center to Schlossplatz or alternatively to the parking lot at the Erlebnisfreibad Haus.

Postbus line 900 to Haus im Ennstal.
Ankle-high, warm boots, warm clothing, gloves and a hat. Possibly a small backpack with a warm drink in a thermos flask. When winter hiking, it is also advisable to carry crampons/snow spikes to be prepared for slippery conditions if necessary.
A visit to the Gothic Margarethenkirche (built in 1520) in Oberhaus - south portal entrance - should definitely be planned. The church is freely accessible during the day. The detour is definitely worth it for those interested in culture. Additional walking time approx. 15-20 minutes.
