Enjoy a cozy circular route from Arthurhaus to Mitterfeldalm and back via Stegalm. You won't gain many altitude meters, but it is a rewarding hike!
This hike will make your hiking heart beat faster! At Arthurhaus, with a view of the Mandlwände, turn right and then walk comfortably along a wide hiking trail. Enjoy the pure nature of Mühlbach with its most beautiful spots. Once you arrive at the Mitterfeldalm, you absolutely have to try a nut pastry – simply wonderful! Then take a short stretch through the forest to Stegalm and continue via the Murmeltierweg back to Arthurhaus.
Author’s recommendation
A nut pastry at the Mitterfeldalm is an absolute MUST!
Derived from the technical difficulty and the stamina requirements.

Safety information
Self-assessment: Before every mountain tour, check your physical fitness and realistically assess your own strength as well as that of your companions – especially your children! Surefootedness and a head for heights are often very important!
Planning and preparation: Plan every intended mountain tour carefully in advance. Hiking maps and guides as well as information from alpine clubs and locals such as mountain guides and hut keepers can be helpful.
Equipment: At the mountain, you need appropriate equipment and clothing, especially sturdy, high footwear with a grippy sole. Weather and cold protection are essential, as the weather can often change unexpectedly.
Weather forecasts: Observe current weather conditions at: www.zamg.at or www.uwz.at.
Togetherness: Observe the 10 rules for proper interaction with grazing animals and leave no waste in nature!
Do not dislodge stones: Do not dislodge stones because it can seriously endanger other hikers. Marked areas with danger of falling rocks should be crossed as quickly and attentively as possible.
Turn back in time: This is no shame but a sign of wisdom. It becomes necessary when the weather changes, fog sets in, and also if the path is too difficult or not in good condition.
Emergency numbers: Alpine emergency: 140, International emergency: 112, Rescue: 144
