A gentle winter walk to Rohrmoosgut and Riedlgut in a quiet, secluded location in Dienten am Hochkönig.
We park our car for free in the Skizentrum Dienten parking garage – from there we cross the parking deck until we reach a barrier. Here begins the tunnel to the access road "Reizegg" which also leads to the Bründlstadl. We follow the road straight ahead until we arrive at the Hochkönig federal road. Here we turn left and follow the road downhill for about 400 m to the district of Fuchsau. In this area, we walk on the road – so please BEWARE OF CARS – as there is no sidewalk! Arriving at the roundabout, we follow the Hochkönig federal road towards Filzensattel or Maria Alm/Saalfelden. After about 1.5 km, turn right onto the Rohrmoos farm road. We follow this road until we reach the Rohrmoos farms and Riedlgut. Here we have a wonderful view of the mountains and the valley. The return path leads back the same way (federal road/Reizegg/Skizentrum Dienten).
