Grossarl: Grosswildalm - Penkkopf - Karseggalm - Breitenebenalm

The ascent takes place from the Sonneggbrücke bridge via the forest road or via the shortcuts through the forest past the Breitenebenalm. Ascent on a hiking trail to the Grosswildalm, where hikers are greeted with a tasty snack of home-made delicacies.

The route then continues up to the Penkkopf. From here you have a wonderful panoramic view of the Hochkönig, over the Tennengebirge and Hagengebirge mountains to the Hohe Tauern with the first three thousand metre peaks. Descent via the Promaualm and Oberwandalm (both unserviced) to the Karseggalm.

The Karseggalm is probably one of the most rustic huts in the entire Alpine region and, at around 400 years old, it is also one of the oldest. When you enter the hut, you are immediately surprised. The floor inside the hut is covered with clay and tree bark. It is quite possible that the "Wehstatt", as the "kitchen" in an old hut is called, is full of smoke. There is an open fireplace here. This is where a speciality from Grossarltal is made: kneaded cheese. Once a week, you can watch the dairymaid or dairyman making the sour cheese that is so typical of Grossarltal.

Then descend via a beautiful alpine path to the Breitenebenalm. It is particularly famous for its desserts such as apple strudel or freshly baked cakes. These taste particularly good on the large sun terrace. Finally, you return to the car park, the starting point of the tour.

Go by car or hiking taxi via the Sonneggweg in the Au district to the Sonneggbrücke bridge and continue to the "parking lot Breitenebenalm" - parking available.
