Description: Of course there is always an easier way on every mountain. With more than 500 km of hiking trails and one of the highest densities of mountain huts in the Eastern Alps, nothing stands in the way of a hiking experience lasting several days in the only Styrian National Park. The whole Gesäuse in one go is best experienced on the Gesäuse Hut Tour. From hut to hut and even completely flexible (no fixed places to stay overnight, numerous variations and completely mobile without your own car), the alpine Gesäuse is more beautiful than ever to hike.
Directions: From the Haindlkarhütte you descend on yesterday's trail almost 550 metres to the car park on the main road and hike yesterday's trail back to the car park for the Haindlkarhütte (where the hiking path joins the road from Gstatterboden to Adomont).From the Weidendom you simply order a taxi (Taxi Herrak 0664-344 42 35), which will take you in 15 minutes to the starting point of the second part of today's stage: the ascent from the Buchauer Sattel via the Granberalm to the Admonterhaus. , which will take you in 15 minutes to the starting point of the second part of today's stage: the ascent from the Buchauer Sattel to the Admonter Haus via the Grabneralm.
Highest point: 1,110 m
Endpoint: Nationalpark Erlebniszentrum Weidendom

Equipment: For the Gesäuse hut tour, "normal" equipment for alpine hikes on unpaved paths is completely sufficient. In any case, we recommend sturdy shoes and telescopic walking sticks to take the strain off the knees on the sometimes longer descents. For all refuges along the trail you should also bring a sleeping bag and a towel. Since the huts where you will be staying overnight on your trail trip are very remote and high up in the mountains and cannot be reached by the luggage shuttle, we cannot offer any luggage transport for the Gesäuse Hut Tour. We therefore recommend that you pack your rucksack sparingly and only take what is really necessary with you to the Gesäuse Hüttenrunde. It can be quite liberating to be on the way without luxury!
Safety instructions: Mountain rescue emergency call: 140

From a technical point of view, the Gesäuse hut tour has moderate difficulties, which are no problem for the sure-footed and experienced mountain hiker. All the stages run on mountain paths with red dots, which means that they are classified as moderately difficult hiking trails according to the classification of the Austrian Alpine Club. However, you should have a certain amount of mountain experience for the Gesäuse Hüttenrunde, as you will be hiking in mountains with altitudes up to 1,850 m.

On a short section of this stage (Zigeunertunnel to Haindlkar parking lot), you will be walking on so-called "natural paths". These trails, which only exist in national parks and comparable areas where the tasks of process protection and making the experience accessible come together, are specially marked and only maintained to a limited extent by the trail keepers. As a result, these paths require increased precautionary measures, such as not walking in strong winds, observing the trees, not standing under dead trees and not hiking with headphones in order to hear acoustic warning signals in good time. In return, they enable a special experience of nature that only national parks can offer. Only less frequented paths are designated as "natural"; every refuge can also be reached via "normal" paths.
Tips: It is recommended to contact the Trail Info & Booking Centre before booking.
