Description

Let`s go. Past the Plannersee and up to the -knot. At the top right you collect along the narrow ridge over Plannereck, Kleiner and Großer Rotbühel to the Jochspitze massive peaks and even more miraculous views. Take this perceived dream with you before it goes down from the Goldbachscharte back to the Planneralm.

Directions

From the mountain rescue house on trail 940 to Plannersee to the start of the ridge at Plannerknot (1996 meters). Turn right on path 14 and walk along the rocky ridge in a southerly direction without any major difficulties. Continue along the path to Plannereck and from there along the ridge above the Plannerkessel to the Kleine and Große Rotbühel. At the crossroads the ridge turns to the west and via an even narrower path you hike over the Gläserkoppe to the last peak of this tour, the Jochspitze (2037 meters). From there you go downhill to the Goldbachscharte and follow the markings through the watery cirque to the Planneralm.

Safety instructions

Plan your tour in advance, taking into account walking time, route length, altitude difference, dangerous spots and weather forecast.
The Alpenverein will provide you with detailed information on "safe mountain hiking". At www.alpenverein.at you can find detailed information about it.
Together many things are more pleasurable and in the mountains safer at the same time. Don't do hikes alone, if possible, and adapt the tour to the individual fitness of your group.
Let people know where you are going and by when you intend to be back. Also make sure to write your name in hut or summit books.
If the weather gets worse, you should turn back in time. If you get caught in a thunderstorm, do not stay on the summit or ridge and keep away from single trees. Wait, if possible in a crouching position, to be safe during the thunderstorm.
Stay on the clearly marked paths and remember to close pasture fences when you pass them on your way.
The way up is only half the way. Stay attentive, especially when going downhill, to safely get back down to the valley.
In case of an emergency, keep calm and call the mountain rescue service under 140. If you have no cell phone signal, take out your sim card and dial 112.
If you meet cows: Walk above the herd at least 50 meters away. Stay calm, don't make hectic movements and don't run away. Do not imitate cow sounds and try not to stroke the animals. With a stick and loud calls, the animals can often be turned around in an emergency.
If you are a dog owner: Clarify already before the hike whether you have to cross grazing areas. Keep your dog on a leash and make sure that he keeps calm. Let the dog off the leash immediately in case of a cow attack. Never pick him up to defend him.

Tips

When walking the tightrope, draw from the full and take in all the impressions. It's amazing what a potpourri of natural beauty you will encounter here. Let yourself be delighted.
