From the Grafenberg mountain station, you first descend to the Hachaualm and then follow hiking trails No. 713 and 712 to the Auhofalm (not managed). From here there is a relatively steep path to the summit of the "Gabel". Surefootedness and a head for heights are necessary here. You will be rewarded at the summit with a fantastic 360 ° alpine panorama.
From the summit of the "Gabel", descend a few meters again to hiking trail no. 712 and follow it to the Kleinarler hut.
The hut is beautifully nestled between Penkkopf and Gründegg high above Kleinarl. The physical well-being is also taken care of ... From the cheese dumpling soup to the Brettljause to the Kaiserschmarren - with the popular hut classics, hikers are spoiled with culinary delights.
After a leisurely snack at the Kleinarler Hütte, you now follow hiking trail no. 712 over meadows and through light forest downhill to the center of Kleinarl, where the hiking bus stop is.
