After extensive observation, you can resume your hike past the Rahmhütte to the Hirnalm. The latter is ideal for a stop with typical Styrian delicacies before returning to the starting point.

Directions

Especially suitable for families. From the last parking lot in the Krumpengraben go right along the stream a gravel road to the Zölzboden. (Do not turn right from the parking lot to the Hirnalm). Walking time approx. 1.5h

Equipment

Proper backpacking makes many things easier: pack heavy things first. The water bottle should always be within easy reach in a side pocket. All things that are often needed, such as sunglasses, camera or hiking map, belong on top. An emergency kit including blister plaster belongs in every backpack and a clothing according to the "onion system" is always recommended!

Safety instructions
Proper planning is a must before any tour.

Emergency call rescue: 144 Tip on reporting an emergency - give answers to the six W-questions: What happened? How many injured? Where did the accident happen (possibly GPS coordinates)? Who is reporting (callback number)? When did the accident happen? Weather at the accident site?
