Description: From the car park (Dietrichshorn forest road no. 6) on the Unkenberg, the hike first leads along the forest road through beautiful woodland to the Thälernalm turn-off. We follow the somewhat steeper alpine path to the alpine saddle. Here we keep to the left and come to the Thälernkogel with its new alpine cross. From here we have a wonderful view over the whole valley basin. Across the Thälernalm, the hiking trail now leads us below the Dietrichshorn to the Astennalm and the Hornwiesalm. If you feel like it, you can climb up to the Dietrichshorn here. Otherwise, the trail continues to Hoisenhöhe, another magnificent vantage point. Now we descend again, along the alpine path, back to the car park.
Directions: Dietrichshorn car park forest road (barrier) - Thälernalm - Thälernkogel - Thälernalm - Astenalm - Hornwiesalm - possibly Dietrichshorn - Hoisenhöhe - Unkenberger Mähder - Dietrichshorn car park.
