This circular hike takes you to the beautiful Salzkammergut mountain panorama, which you can see from the [Attergau observation tower](https://attersee-attergau.salzkammergut.at/en/oesterreich-poi/detail/402142/attergauer-aussichtsturm.html). For a refreshment on the way you can stop at the [Berggasthof Danter](https://attersee-attergau.salzkammergut.at/en/oesterreich-gastronomie/detail/100140/berggasthof-danter.html). Starting point is the parking lot "Attergauer Aussichtsturm". Follow the asphalt road downhill until you reach the junction with the forest road and turn left. Follow the forest road and circle the Lichtenberg summit counterclockwise. At the junction of the "Alter Schulweg", stay on the forest road and continue to the right in the bend. On the asphalt road you come back to the parking lot. Now that the summit has been circled, you should not miss climbing to the highest point of the Lichtenberg - the "Attergauer Aussichtsturm". This is 10 minutes away from the parking lot and offers an incomparable panoramic view of the mountains.
