Go by car in 1 hour
from the House Grabler,
Altmünster, via Bad Ischl
to Bad Aussee
|
|
|
At the train station (639 m)
you’ll find a
parking space
|
|
| As the starting and
end point of this round tour
are in the immediate surroundings
of the train station,
it's recommendable to go there
by train
|
|
|
Now, walk just 10 minutes
along the road and take then
the way on the left,
which begins to rise gently
and gets slowly steeper
|
|
|
Shortly before you reach
the plateau
you’ll have to get over
a rocky, but not dangerous
steep part
|
|
|
Because
of the rapid rise
you’ll make an altitude difference
of 1100 high metres in 3 hours
|
|
|
Now walk on
through a relatively flat
and stony area,
full of mountain pines . . .
|
|
|
and go the last
100 high metres
up to the big
summit cross
(1854 m)
|
|
|
Enjoy the loneliness
of this not much known summit
and the fantastic panorama:
|
|
|
In the South you see
the whole Dachstein-plateau,
in the West is the Sarstein,
and beneath you the
Ausseer-Land
and behind the mountain range
Totes Gebirge
|
|
|
A different way back begins
about 200 m after the summit
on the left side and leads
gently down to the alpine pasture
Handleralm (1650 m)
|
|
|
Past it, the path
rises the last time for a few metres
and leads afterwards
rapidly down to the valley,
similar to the way up
|
|
|
For hikers with
special staying power (self-caterer)
and with a maximum of sense of direction
exist between the Ausseer Zinken
and the Stoderzinken
(about 15 km as the crow flies)
and the Salza-reservoir
many lonely
paths and alpine pastures
|
|
|
But this is just for real
individualists, so that we
don’t need to
describe these paths here
