Description: We start our hike in the village of Dienten after the Hotel Salzburgerhof at the house Dienten on the left side. This is where the forest path to the Lengthalalm or Hirscheggalm begins. We follow the prepared winter hiking trail through the forest until we reach the Lengthalalm. Here it gets sunnier as we are walking a bit outside the forest. Continue through the forest again until we reach the turn-off left - Bürglalm (yellow sign). We follow the path uphill until we reach the storage pond at the Bürglalm. Here we go below the valley station Wastlhöhe to the Bürglalm.

The way back is the same way back to the village or with the Bürglalmbahn cable car.

Safety instructions: Stay on the marked hiking trails. Small steps and a steady pace save energy going uphill and protect your joints going downhill. If you tilt your upper body slightly forward when going downhill, you reduce the risk of slipping. Check the weather forecast. Fog and bad weather can come surprisingly quickly. Turn back in good time before you take a risk. Do not leave waste in the countryside
