Description

From Loderbichl you cross the Postalm and the beautiful and original Bräugföllalm before you reach the summit of the Grubhörndl with its unique 360° panorama of the surrounding mountains via a ridge. Descend through the Almenwelt Lofer with several refreshment stops and continue along the exciting waterfall adventure trail back to Loderbichl.

Directions
After the ascent from Lofer with the Almbahn I to Loderbichl, walk 200m on the Loferer-Alm road, then turn left (trail no. 7) and hike up to the Postalm. From here, continue in the direction of the Bräugföllalm. Once there, continue straight on at the crossroads and climb in serpentines up the alpine meadow to the wall of the Grubhörndl.

On a narrow and rocky mountain path you cross the Jochinghöhe and the Lachfeldschneid and reach the summit of the Grubhörndl at around 1,747m in no time, where you have a wonderful 360° view over the Salzburger Saalachtal Valley.

For the way back, follow the path on the other side of the Grubhörndl down into the Almenwelt Lofer, past the summer-resting ski lifts, grazing cows and numerous alpine huts. The Schönblick and Soderkaser restaurants cater for your physical well-being here. From the mountain station of the Loferer Almbahn, take trail number 50 (waterfall trail) first to the Bimalm and then down to Loderbichl. (Use of the Almbahn II and I for the descent is possible).
