Description: On the third day, the path is differently long, depending on which hut you stayed. Along the Salzburger almenweg you pass the Henerbichlalm (closed) to the Henerbichl. From here you can easily get to the Trögsee. These are small mountain lakes, which are always good for cooling off - especially in the high summer. Along the ridge you reach the Gründegg. From here you have a wonderful view on the surrounding mountains.
Continue the hike to the Penkkopf. Desent via the Promau- and Oberwandalm (both closed) to the Karseggalm. The Karseggalm is with 400 years one of the oldest hut in the region. The ground inside the hut is made of clay and bark and there is an open fireplace. Here a speciality from the Grossarltal is produced: the "Knetkäse". You don´t get this at any other hut, because you need an open fireplace to moke the cheese.
Directions: Walk along path No. 63 past the Henerbichlalm to Henerbichl (1.934 m) - about 3/4 hour. On the hiking trail No. 64 it goes to the Trögseen and further to the Gründegg (2.168 m) - about 1,25 hours. From here you hike 1 hour on the path No. 67 to the Penkkopf (2.011 m). Descent over the Promaualm (1.858 m) and the Oberwandalm (both closed) to the Karseggalm (1.603 m) - about 1,25 hours. Descent via the path No. 70 to the Breitenebenalm and then via the forest path to the car park "Sonneggbrücke" ( 1,25 hours).
Highest point: 2,156 m
Endpoint: Sonneggbrücke, 1.126 m
