- Description
-
This beautiful and easy hike leads from Unterberg (Aberg ski centre) to the Kräuteralm Wastlalm am Aberg. The hike is perfectly suited as a half-day family hike.
- Directions
-
Start at the car park by the Aberg ski centre and walk along an asphalt road first towards Hinterjetzbach. Here you follow the access road uphill for a while until you continue on path no. 445 across a meadow. A little steeper uphill you follow the "Ziachweg" through a small forest. You pass the Wastlbauer and come to a gravel path. Continue past the Eberlalm (not managed in summer) until you can see the Christernreith mountain inn on the left. The trail continues uphill until you keep left at the next fork and follow trail nr. 28a to the Wastlalm.
The descent is like ascent!
As an alternative for the descent you can also take the goods trail nr. 28 and nr. 11, which is not as steep as trail nr. 445.
As a second variant for the 'descent' you can follow trail nr. 28a up to the Abergalm and continue on trail nr. 28 to the top station of the Schwarzeckalm cable car and go down in comfort (information about the opening days of the cable car, you can find on www.hochkoenig.at)

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 - Tips
