Description

Experience the beautiful circular hiking trail to the Kräuteralm Wastlalm and enjoy the magnificent mountain panorama!  

Directions

You start the tour in Hintermoos and go up with the Schwarzeckalmbahn (please note the opening days). From the mountain station, take trail no. 28 in the direction of Hundstein past the Saalfeldener Hütte and Abergalm (not open in summer). At the fork, take trail no. 28a on the right downhill to the Kräuteralm Wastlalm. After a nice rest at the Wastlalm, return to the starting point. Follow trail no. 28a downhill in the direction of Berggasthof Christernreith to the Eberlalm (not open in summer). Keep to the right here and walk past the Eberlalm and the Christernhof, now you will reach a road. Follow this road downhill for approx. 300 m and then, above the Kröllbauer, take the idyllic hiking trail no. 11 on the right to the Kösserhof and from there continue to follow trail no. 12 downhill to Hintermoos to the valley station of the Schwarzeckalm cable car.

Alternatively, you can descend the same way and take the Schwarzeckalm cable car back to Hintermoos.

Pay attention to the operating times of the Schwarzeckalmbahn. Ascent via trail no. 28c extends the tour by 1.5 hours.

Safety instructions

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                                         
                                         International emergency call: 122
