The hike starts in front of the church in Hinterthal and follows along the banks of the Urslau river. The landscape is characterized by picturesque alpine meadows and dense forests, while the gentle murmur of the river accompanies the atmosphere.
After a while, you'll reach a junction towards Poschalm and Bertgenhütte. From here, the path steadily ascends, either along a forest road or a small trail. The effort of the ascent is rewarded by increasingly impressive views of the surrounding mountains.
At Poschalm, which is not however managed, take a brief pause before continuing to Pichlalm. A short section of the trail leads over a rooty path that may require some technical skill.
After passing Pichlalm, the trail descends to Mußbachalm and eventually back to Hinterthal. The descent offers an opportunity to relax your legs and enjoy the picturesque surroundings as you approach the end of the hike.

Self-assessment Check your physical fitness before every mountain tour and correctly assess your strength as well as that of your companions - especially those of your children! Surefootedness and a head for heights are often very important!
Planning and preparation Plan each intended mountain tour in detail beforehand. Hiking maps and guides as well as information from alpine associations and local experts such as mountain guides and mountain hut keepers can be helpful.
Equipment On the mountain, you will need appropriate equipment and clothing, especially sturdy, high shoes with good grip soles. Weather and cold protection are essential, as the weather can often change unexpectedly.
Weather forecasts Take note of the current weather conditions at: www.zamg.at
Together Follow the 10 rules for the correct handling of grazing animals and do not leave any waste in nature!
Do not kick stones Do not kick stones as this can seriously endanger other hikers. Marked places with a danger of falling rocks should be crossed as quickly as possible and with attention and caution.
Turn back in good time This is not a disgrace, but a sign of common sense. It becomes necessary when the weather changes, fog rolls in, and also when the path is too difficult or not in good condition.Emergency numbers: Alpine emergency call: 140
