- Brief description
-
The access to the Sommerthörl from St. Oswald is sometimes not possible because of the winter closure!
From Sommertörl it is a short easy hike to the Rosenkogel (1644m). From spring to autumn the hike offers special charms. In June, the alpine bush blooms on the eastern slopes below the summit. In summer you can look for mushrooms and in autumn ripe blackberries and cranberries. At the end of the hike there is the possibility to stop at the Sommeralm - limited opening.

- Description
-
The access to the Sommerthörl from St. Oswald is partly not possible due to the winter closure!
From the parking lot Sommertörl the slightly ascending hiking trail leads via the Lorettokapelle to the Rosenkogel, 1918m, a peak on the sunny side of the NiederenTauern. The descent is via the well-marked hiking trail back to the forest road we already know and subsequently back to Sommertörl.
- Directions
-
From Sommertörl, walk a short distance along a marked forest road to a prominent clearing. From here you can either hike over the beautiful Lorettokapelle (1817m) or straight along the ridge directly to the summit. From here you can descend again to the Lorettokapelle.

- Equipment
-
Good hiking boots protect and relieve the foot and improve surefootedness! When making your choice, look for a perfect fit, non-slip tread sole, waterproofness and light weight.
Adapt your equipment to your hike and make sure your backpack is lightweight. Nevertheless, rain, cold and sun protection always belong in your backpack, as well as a first aid kit and cell phone (Euro emergency call 112). Map or GPS support the orientation.
- Safety instructions
-
Avoid time pressure and choose the speed so that no one in the group gets out of breath.
Falls, as a result of slipping or tripping, are the most common cause of accidents! Note that too fast a pace or fatigue will severely affect your surefootedness and concentration.
