Blooming alpine meadows invite you to leisurely hikes, wonderful summit and climbing routes in fog-free, almost untouched nature. The wonderful view of the Hoher Dachstein and Tennengebirge accompanies you on all your hikes. Enjoy the good snack in one of the many cozy alpine huts.

    Author’s recommendation

    The alpine pastures are staffed from late June to September, and the dairy farmers serve excellent homemade cheese specialties.

    Roadbook

    The path leads past the Gablonzerhütte, then to the deepest cut between the rocky Kleiner Donnerkogel and the dome-shaped Törleck. After a few minutes, you reach a fork in the road. The right path is the Austriaweg to the Stuhlalm, but you take the left path. Initially through green alders and dwarf pines, then over rock slabs, scree, steep rocky steps, and through a short rock gorge towards the summit. The uppermost section of the path crosses terrain covered with scree and is again easier to walk on.
