Description: A beautiful alpine pasture hike to the herbal pastures Bürglalm and Königsbergalm with two summit experiences over the Dientner Grasberge mountains.
Directions: From the Dienten Ski Centre we walk about 200 metres into the village centre, finally turning left (opposite Arzthaus) and hiking up the steep trail no. 15 to the Bürglalm (Kräuteralm). From there, continue along trail no. 15 over the Wastlhöhe and further along trail no. 60a to the Sulzbühel. Then follow trail no. 60 to the fork, where trail no. 59a leads to Königsbergalm on the left. From there we follow the forest road until we arrive at the fork in the road to Güterweg Dürnegg. Here we follow the asphalt path downhill to the Lindlweg fork, where we turn right in the direction of the Fischerstüberl (closed!). At the Fischerstüberl we wait for the hiking bus or follow the Erlebnweg trail back to the village.

Pay attention to the operating days of the Bürglalm cable car. The ascent by train shortens and eases the tour by 2 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.
