"Schwarze Lacke" at GerzkopfPhoto: Filzmoos Tourismus, Tourismusverband Filzmoos
The path to the Gerzkopf leads through a quiet, untouched and primeval landscape.
With the Fidibus summer (hiking bus) from Filzmoos, you quickly reach the starting point in Neuberg. The path to Gerzkopf leads through a quiet, untouched, and primeval landscape. Through the fairy-tale spruce forest, you reach a dense dwarf pine belt, in which the Gerzkopf bogs are embedded as small natural jewels. These are unique in the federal state of Salzburg and of special ecological value. The hiker enjoys a magnificent view from the summit over the Gosaukamm, the Dachstein massif, the Tennengebirge, and the Niedere Tauern. The distinctive Bischofsmütze dominates the view to the east, and in the distance rise the peaks of the High Tauern. Directly in front of the Neubergerhof is a Fidibus stop to return to Filzmoos. From early June to early September, the shepherd's hut is open (only in good weather).
Author’s recommendation
Beautiful view, magnificent raised bog landscape with small moor lake, summit cross with bell.
Derived from the technical difficulty and the stamina requirements.

In an emergency, please call the following emergency numbers:
- 140 - for alpine emergencies - Austria-wide
- 112 - Euro emergency GSM emergency service

Just before the old sawmill in Neuberg, turn left towards Nestlerhof. You walk directly past Nestlerhof. Shortly before Perlmaishaus, a forest path leads uphill on the right. You cross several forest roads until you reach the tree line at the ridge. On the right of the path is the shepherd's hut. You walk up to the left, initially through somewhat rocky terrain, past the "Black Tarn" until you reach the summit of Gerzkopf, partly through dwarf pines.

Equipment
Weather changes, rapid temperature drop, thunderstorms, wind, fog, and snowfields are objective dangers and require the right behavior on the way. Hut keepers are experienced mountain experts; they can give good tips about the weather and the route. Lack of equipment, overestimation, carelessness, poor condition, and wrong assessment can lead to critical situations. In thunderstorms: absolutely avoid summits, ridge areas, and secured rope sections.
A good backpack is helpful, and for routes in alpine terrain, a hat, gloves, a good jacket, and trousers belong to the basic equipment. Good waterproof shoes, sunglasses, sun protection, and sufficient drinks are essential. Flashlight, map material, knife, and a small first aid kit also belong.
