Klammalm - Hochgründeck

The first stop on this meditation and peace path is a chapel that can be reached from the Klammalm. To do so, keep right and hike along the forest road (path 452). At the chapel you pass a gate to a fork where you turn left. After about 10 minutes, the hiking trail branches off to the Hochgründeck and thus to the fourth station. Then the path crosses a forest road and leads on a pleasant slope in the shade of the trees to the ninth station on the 1,635 m high Hofersattel. The path splits here and the path on the left continues with an ascent over the ridge. The forest clears and you will soon reach a free saddle. Here is also the natural arena for the "Ranggeln am Hochgründeck". You reach the summit of the Hochgründeck via a ridge to the left. To the right is a flat path to the Heinrich-Kiener-Haus. From its terrace you have a bird's eye view of the Salzach Valley with the towns of St. Johann, Bischofshofen and the “Hohen Werfen” fortress. The descent is identical to the ascent.

Variant: From the Hofersattel you can also choose the steep climb to the right and after a short descent you come to a nice forest road that leads to the Klammalm.
