Gerzkopf Round

We start at the Filzmoos Experience Portal heading west and walk briefly along the road. Before the "Ski Boot Clinic" (Sport Stefan) we turn left and follow the road, but after a total of 0.7 km we already enter the hiking trail towards Neuberg. At the junction after 2.0 km, we do not go to the road but turn left, briefly uphill, before the path leads right into the forest. Now we stay on the slightly downhill marked path until km 4.7, until we arrive at Neuberg. Here we cross the road and continue north on the marked path until at km 5.9 we reach a road junction. From here, we always follow the signs towards "Gerzkopf." First, it goes left up the paved road until it becomes a forest path near Nestlerhof. At km 7.2 (before a gate) we turn steeply right uphill into the forest. We now follow this beautiful trail for a longer stretch until at km 10.2 we turn left uphill for the last ascent to the summit, which we reach after another kilometer. Here you can ring the - beware: very loud - bell. After the well-deserved summit enjoyment with a beautiful panoramic view from Hochkönig to Dachstein and into the Radstädter Tauern Mountains, we initially return the same way. At the junction, this time we turn left and now have a beautiful, varied trail ahead to Langeggsattel. From now on, we repeatedly have views of Bischofsmütze and Rötelstein, those two striking mountains we are virtually heading towards. At the crossroads, we always head towards Langeggsattel, which we reach at km 15.2, and from there towards "Arzbergalm and Kirchgasshütte-Aualm." At km 17, it goes right or straight through the meadow, along the fence; shortly afterwards, we already see Arzbergalm, which offers an opportunity to stop. At the next fork, we follow the signs steeply uphill to our next destination "Kirchgasshütte-Aualm," which we pass at km 20 (or can stop there). From here we follow the forest road towards Filzmoos. At km 21.6 at "Marcheggsattel" we turn right at the junction and walk along the ridge, with Filzmoos in the valley in front of us and finally the Jägersteig back to the start/starting point (Attention, sharp left at km 25 and steep downhill beside the last house).

Opportunities to stop: Arzbergalm, Kirchgasshütte-Aualm
