Höllental
Höllental Review
A delightful side trip can be made from Semmering into the Höllental (Valley of Hell), an extremely narrow and romantic gorge cut by the Schwarza stream between two high mountains, the Raxalpe and the Schneeberg.
From Hirschwang, at the beginning of the valley, you can ride the Raxbahn cable car to a plateau on the Raxalpe at 5,075 feet. 02666/52497. Round-trip €17. Mid-May-Sept., weekdays 8-5; Oct.-mid-May weekdays 9-4.
- Location: Semmering
