Exciting hike to the Karbachalm
Beautiful scenic hike in the Schneeberg area in Mühlbach at Hochkönig.
From the bus stop or parking lot Dientner Sattel, follow path No. 75 over the forest road to the Tiergartenalm and further to the Klingelbergalm. Cross the stream via a trail and head upwards and left over a wooden bridge, then across wet meadows and forest to the forest road. Follow this downhill and above the Fellersbach lift station onto the trail to the Karbachalm. Descent option: via path No. 77 along the forest road past the Fellersbach lift station, over a trail to the Dientalm and back to the starting point.

Safety information
Self-assessment: Before every mountain tour, check your physical fitness and assess your 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 beforehand. Hiking maps and guides as well as information from alpine clubs and locals such as mountain guides and hut hosts can be helpful.
Equipment: In the mountains, you need appropriate equipment and clothing, particularly sturdy, high footwear with a grippy sole. Weather and cold protection are indispensable, as weather can often change suddenly.
Weather forecasts: Check current weather conditions at: zamg.at or www.uwz.at.
Togetherness: Observe the 10 rules for the correct behavior with grazing animals and do not leave any litter in nature!
Do not dislodge stones: Do not dislodge stones because it can seriously endanger other hikers. Marked areas with risk of rockfall should be crossed as quickly as possible and with attention and caution.
Turn back in time: This is no disgrace but a sign of prudence. It becomes necessary if the weather changes, fog sets in, or if the path is too difficult or in poor condition.
Emergency numbers: Alpine emergency: 140, international emergency: 112, rescue: 144
