Thanks to the relatively low altitude, the hike to the Donnersalpe is an ideal family hike!

Roadbook
Descent:
Descent from the summit of the Donnersalpe (1539m) on the marked trail (Almbodenm unpleasant "cow steps") to a forest road. Cross this and descend through the forest to the meadows and farms on Hohenegg (approx. 970m). Poorly marked in places, pay attention to signposts and markings. From Hohenegg on a shady forest path to Ramsau (865m), return to the starting point on an additional 2.8km road (45min.).
From the Gemeindealm car park at the panorama panel, we first hike into the valley over a bridge. Immediately afterwards, turn right across the pasture to the high forest; continue following the markings (Wasserfallsteig), up serpentines to a rest area. We continue through a forest to a flat alpine pasture, along which we climb slightly to the approaching summit.

Equipment
Planning your desired tour properly in advance is a must.Emergency call rescue: 144
Emergency reporting tip - give answers to six important questions: What happened? How many injured? Where did the accident happen (possibly GPS coordinates)? Who reported the accident (call-back number)? When did the accident happen? Weather at the accident site?
Proper backpacking makes many things easier: Pack heavy things first. The water bottle should always be within easy reach in a side pocket. All things that are often needed, such as sunglasses, camera or hiking map, belong on top. An emergency kit including blister plasters belongs in every rucksack and it is always advisable to put on different layers of clothing.Localization
