From Soderbauer to Thälernalm

The path leads from the Lofer - Soderbauer stop back a few meters along the B178 and then branches left to the magnificent Soder farm. The comfortably ascending farm road reaches the junction to the somewhat remote Vockenalm (1,028 m) in one hour and continues in another 45 minutes into the picturesque valley with the huts of the Thälernalm. The alpine area is closed to the north by the lightly wooded Thälerer Kogel, which can be reached in 20 minutes. However, our path 9 A branches off to the left at the foot of the Dietrichshorn towards the Astenalm and a little later left again towards Schwarzeck to the Götzkas cabin. At this rustic alpine hut, the highest point of the round trip (1,370 m) is reached; the steep descent leads in 15 minutes to the Bimalm and now follows the waterfall trail 50 to the Loderbichl mid-station of the mountain railways (1,005 m). Two hairpin bends below the inn, path 54 (Krepper) branches left into the forest. After 20 minutes and several switchbacks, be careful again as path 9 leads left over the Steigbrückl and reaches the starting point Soderbauer 35 minutes later.
