Beschreibung

After the start of the hike by the station in Werfen, you can not yet guess the variety of nature you will be hiking on this day. In the beginning, you pass the farms and houses along the roads, meadows and forest paths, then through the dark Höllngraben, along the stream, to the alpine pastures, through the wonderfully fragrant forests until they finally see the Mitterfeldalm at the foot of the Hochkönig massif! You can not skip a delicious Almjausn or a Häferlcafe with the world's most delicious nutcrackers!

  

Relatively long, though not too difficult hike.

 

Lowest / highest point: 525 m / 1695 m 

Altitude: 1250 m; Length: approx. 11 km

Gehzeit: approx. 5 hours

 

 

Wegbeschreibung

The hike starts at the train station in Werfen where you will also find plenty of 

parking. After crossing the Salzach, the trail heads north for a short way, branching off 

to the left at the Reitsamerhof. Behind the inn, a steep supply lane leads up to the 

Schwabegg with its glorious views of the Tennengebirge. Now a relaxing, approx. 5km 

long section through the Höllntal without any significant ascent follows, passing the former Gasthof Hölln.

Just before Jagdhaus Hölln, the trail branches off to the left and ascends to the Grünmaißalm.

 

VARIANT: Just before arriving at the Grünmaißalm, we turn to the right and follow 

a trail which, after around 1 km, branches left and becomes steeper. This small path 

crosses a forestry road, leading past the Steinalm (now derelicted) up to the Mitterfeldalm.

A few meters before reaching the Grünmaißalm we finally leave the forest and enjoy 

the marvellous view of the Hochthron towards the north east. At the alpine pasture 

the forest road ends and our hike continues on a trail that starts slightly above the 

hut. After about 1 km, we reach the forest road once again, heading west until our 

trail branches off to the right, acsending quite steep. This occasionally shady trail 

ends at the Stegalm. Even before reaching the alpine pastures of the Stegalm, the 

forest thins out, and allows us magical views on the Hochkönig massif. 

Before we reach the Mitterfeldalm we have to ascend another 270 vertical metres. 

Staffed during the summer months, this is the first refreshment station on thisroute.
A sunny panoramic path leads slightly downhill to the Arthurhaus and the alpine
dairy Schweizerhütte, the second stop of this route. Hikers have the possibility to take

the bus to Mühlbach, Bischofshofen and further to Pfarrwerfen.
