    Roadbook

    The first waypoint is a shrine at 1574 m, then it goes slightly downhill until we see the entrance to the forest on the right. Paths and forest roads alternate, at the crossroads "Sattelhaus/Steinplan" we continue to the left. Shortly after the Krennsattel, the path climbs continuously until we reach the Steinplan (1670m) with the nearby refuge. After a break at the Steinplan, we go back to the Gaberl well strengthened.

    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.
