We have visited this place several times over the years.
Last time in 2016.
Siriuskogl is a short hike through the woods near Bad Ischl - but the way is going upwards to the mountain top.
So if you are not able to do a good hike with strong pitch - better stay away. Even the walk is only a 30 minutes hike from center of Bad Ischl, it can be exhausting for people with low endurance.
As soon as you have climbed the Siriuskogl´s top - you are entering the "Gasthaus Siriuskogl".
They are offering Alpaca hiking, self made bacon, good food - and best of all - they are listed in the "Falstaff"-Magazine as one of the best places in Austria.
We recognised that the menu has changed from very traditional to more "modern" stylish food. To be open - the traditional was good enough for us, but maybe there was a change in the kitchen....
Nevertheless, we had a great time. Food is of good quality and the service was utmost friendly. Prices are reasonable.
Siriuskogl serves more traditional Snacks and modern style "Deer"-Burger, or "Siriuskogl Bosna" - which is a large Sub with a traditional "Bratwurst" - a grilled sausage in a spicy sauce with lots of onions. Tasty.
If you are in Bad Ischl - and able to hike up to a mountains top without needing an O2-tent afterwards - go for it.
Stunning view over the valley and a nice place to sit.
Would we come here again?
