    The Hauseckrunde is just the thing for a family hike in the Murtal region. The circuit can be completed in about 2 hours, is somewhat challenging due to a few inclines / declines, but does not overtax.

    What especially pleases the children: there is a summit cross! Furthermore, from the Hauseck - although with 1982m one of our lower peaks - you have a wonderful view of the surrounding mountains and Großer and Kleiner Scheibelsee.


    Author’s recommendation

    If you want to extend the tour, you can go around the Großer Scheibelsee before the ascent and take a photo at the "7th heavenly place".

    Starting point of the tour is the parking lot at the Scheibelalm. The route leads along a gravel path or a lovingly designed path to the Edelraute hut. From there you walk along a forest trail (R1) and continue over some steps to the Großer Scheibelsee. There you keep to the right in the direction of the Großer Bösenstein ascent. There follows a somewhat steeper ascent over a brush slope, which finally ends in a flatter ridge. There you will find the junction, to the right it is now not far to the summit cross of the Hauseck. The descent follows the ridge, it becomes steeper again towards the valley until it crosses the R7. Here you continue to keep to the right and finally arrive in a large arc around the Kleiner Scheibelsee back to the Edelrautehütte.

    For a conflict-free coexistence on alpine pastures and meadows it is important to observe a few rules, especially when traveling with dogs. (Source: www.sichere-almen.at - 06/2021)

    • Avoid contact with grazing animals, do not feed them, keep a safe distance!
    • Keep calm, do not frighten grazing animals!
    • Mother cows protect their calves. Avoid encounters between mother cows and dogs!
    • Always keep dogs under control and on a short leash. If an attack by a grazing animal is foreseeable: Immediately unleash!
    • Do not leave hiking trails on alpine pastures and meadows!
    • If grazing animals block the way, avoid them as far as possible!
    • When grazing animals approach: Stay calm, do not turn your back, avoid the animals!
    • Leave the grazing area quickly at the first sign of restlessness of the animals!Fences must be respected!
    • If there is a gate, use it, then close it well and cross the pasture quickly!
    • Treat the people working here, nature and the animals with respect!

    A few tips for correct and fair behavior in the forest: (Source: www.bundesforste.at - 6/2021)

    • Hikers should avoid visits to the forest about 1.5 hours before sunrise and after sunset, as wildlife is especially active during this time.
    • Plastic bottles, handkerchiefs, cigarette butts & Co have no place in the forest! Please make sure that you do not leave any trash in the forest.
    • Camping and making fire - is strictly forbidden in the forest!
    • In principle, each person is allowed to collect 2 kg of mushrooms and berries per day for personal use in the forest. It is only forbidden if the forest owner expressly forbids it.
