HikingPhoto: Karin Rathgeb, Hochkönig
Quiet alpine pasture hike in almost untouched nature, off the beaten tourist track you can enjoy the day all by yourself.
The hike begins at the former Ottino snack station. We follow the forest path to the Moosalm, from there a small but somewhat steeper path leads past a fish pond and ends at the Moaralm, which is no longer managed. Past the Moaralm, hiking trail no. 56 leads to the Sulzbühel and downhill to the Königsbergalm. After the Königsbergalm, you briefly cross the alpine meadow, followed by another forest road - whereby you return to the original forest road in the direction of the Moosalm.
Author’s recommendation
The Königsbergalm is a herbal alpine pasture, a stopover is a "MUST.
Derived from the technical difficulty and the stamina requirements.

Safety information
Self-assessment: Check your physical fitness before every mountain tour and correctly assess your strength as well as that of your companions - especially those of your children! Surefootedness and a head for heights are often very important!
Planning and preparation: Plan each intended mountain tour in detail beforehand. Hiking maps and guides as well as information from alpine associations and local experts such as mountain guides and mountain hut keepers can be helpful.
Equipment: On the mountain, you will need appropriate equipment and clothing, especially sturdy, high shoes with good grip soles. Weather and cold protection are essential, as the weather can often change unexpectedly.
Weather forecasts: Take note of the current weather conditions at: www.zamg.at
Together: Follow the 10 rules for the correct handling of grazing animals and do not leave any waste in nature!
Do not kick stones: Do not kick stones as this can seriously endanger other hikers. Marked places with a danger of falling rocks should be crossed as quickly as possible and with attention and caution.
Turn back in good time: This is not a disgrace, but a sign of common sense. It becomes necessary when the weather changes, fog rolls in, and also when the path is too difficult or not in good condition.
Emergency numbers: Alpine emergency call: 140, International emergency call: 112, Rescue: 144

Roadbook
A slightly ascending alpine path starts from the Ottino car park. After only a few minutes' walk, a path (no. 56a) branches off to the right to the Klausalm. However, we stay on trail no. 56, after about 1 hour we reach the Moosalm. From the Moosalm, turn left along trail no. 56c, past a small fish pond. A somewhat steeper ascent follows to the Moaralm (not managed). The walking time is approx. 30-40 min. From the Moaralm we follow trail no. 56 again to the Sulzbühel and continue descending on trail no. 60/59a to the Königsbergalm. Take trail no. 56b, which descends somewhat more steeply to the Moosalm forest road (no. 56) and return to the starting point at the Ottino car park.
