Description
The Admonterhaus is located directly on the Styrian-Upper Austrian border and offers magnificent views of the Admont Valley to the south and the lake floor to the north, which in spring lets the meltwater swell to a lake, in summer it dries up again - a unique spectacle!

Refreshment stops: Grabneralm - Admonterhaus

Adventure points Admonter Warte, 1,804 m, local mountain, wonderful viewpoint

Grabnerstein, Mittagskogel and Natterriegel - popular ski mountains in winter

Directions
We start at the Buchauer Sattel and hike on a meadow path, then on a forest path and a hollow path until we meet a forest road. Soon we reach the basic border, where the area of the Grabnerhof Agricultural College begins. From here on, at regular intervals, you will come across information boards depicting past and present alpine pasture farming. This is an entertaining way to get to the Grabneralm Haus. When we are already tired, hungry and thirsty from the 1 1/2 hour hike, we stop for a bite  in the cosy garden or in the parlour.

Then we still have an hour's climb ahead of us. A path winds its way uphill until we finally see the Admonter's house majestically enthroned in the embrasure. We have reached our destination - we might want to spend the night here and then the next morning join the Mittagskogel and Natterriegel (easy hike) or the Hexenturm (only for sure-footed and vertigo-free or via ferrata climbers).

Variant: If you are free from giddiness you can also connect the via ferrata to the Grabnerstein from the Admonterhaus and descend from the summit to the Grabneralm Haus - there we meet our ascent path again.

 

Also from Hall on trail no. 633 via Johannesbründl in 3 hours and from Oberlaussa, Voerderzwiesel car park, on trail no. 636 via Seeboden in about 3 hours. Summit: Grabnerstein, 1,847 m (Styria's most beautiful flower mountain) via "Jungfernsteig" (A) in about 1 hour. Mittagskogel, 2,041 m, trail nr. 634, about 1.25 hours, on to the Natterriegel, 2,065 m, in 10 minutes Hexenturm (Bärenkarmauer, 2,172 m), normal ascent via Roßkar, Natterriegel - Hexenturm, about 2 hours
