    Magnificent views and deep insights into a border region – the Salzburg Land and the Salzkammergut. Past the alpine flower garden, the hike follows a centuries-old state, religious, and cultural border to the Edtalm Hut.

    Author’s recommendation

    A visit to Bruno's mountain world is highly worthwhile, especially if you have children with you.

    Tips and suggestions

    The operating times of the Hornbahn Russbach can be found at www.dachstein.at

    Roadbook

    From the Hornbahn mountain station, walk straight ahead for a short distance and continue from the viewing platform along a mountain ridge to the Edtalm Hut. The natural path leads through damp meadows, so sturdy and good footwear is recommended. Surrounded by a breathtaking panorama, we hike along a centuries-old state, religious, and cultural border between Salzburg and Upper Austria. To return to the mountain station, take the same path, path no. 46, or the leisure train Ameisenexpress (observe operating times).
