Tourcharakter:
Bergtour
Tourlänge:
6:00h
Entfernung:
12,4km

We started from the Spöttling-Taurer houses a bit above Kals am Grossglockner. We first followed the road towards Kals a bit (to the place called Burg). Right before the bridge over Burgerbach, we turned left and followed a forrest road, leading into the valley of Burgerbach. Only a bit into this direction, the path turns right and crosses Burgerbach---from there on, it leads upwards towards Geierspitz (2102m). From there, the path extends over nice mountain meadows towards Greibühel (2247m). This place offers wonderful views, especially towards south, across Ködnitzvalley and towards Schönleitenspitze, etc. At this place, we split into two parties, of which one continued along this meadow-path, descending towards Lucknerhaus in Ködnitztal. The other two of us continued towards >>>

6,9km

We started from the Spöttling-Taurer region above Kals am Grossglockner and walked directly into the Daberklamm from there. This narrow canyon is interesting to visit and from an observation platform, one has great views into the canyon. Soon after, we reached the beautiful Dorfertal, which extends far north from there and offers wonderful hiking opportunities (easy and demanding). We went a little into Dorfertal, reaching Bergeralm, where we turned around. On our way back, we decided to follow the old connection of Dorfertal with Kals, crossing over Moaalm. Also from there, one enjoys very nice views, both into Dorfertal and over Kals. From there, it was then a quick and easy descent back to the Spöttling-Taurer area. All in all, this hike was mostly relaxing and easy---in the beautiful >>>

Blauspitze near Kals am Grossglockner

17,0km

We started from Spöttling-Taurer in the upper end of Kals am Grossglockner, crossed over the Kalserbach there to the western side of the valley, and ascended from there along the Mitterbach-valley towards Kereralm. From there, we continued upwards towards the Hohes Tor. At about 2000m sea-level, we ended up in a thunderstorm and started to feel somewhat uneasy, exposing us too much to the bad weather. We therefore turned around and descended, again, following a forrest road southwards from Kereralm (at about 1800m sea-level). We connected to the place, where a lift comes up from Grossdorf, connecting to Ganotzalm, further up. We continued on the forrest road, which leads up to the hut Glocknerblick on about 1950m sea-level. There, we had a nice rest and filled up some energy (unfortunately, >>>

Schober & Frauenkopf

Tourcharakter:
Bergtour
Tourlänge:
1:45h
Entfernung:
3,6km

We parked right next to Forsthaus Wartenfels and ascended to the ruin Wartenfels that towers above the Forsthaus (only a few minutes up). From there, it is a quick ascent up to Schober, from where one enjoyes exceptional views in all directions. The matter of fact that Schober is kind of the northernmost (somehow) higher mountain frees extended views in many directions! From there, we connected to Frauenkopf, which is only a few steps away from Schober. From there, one gets back to Forsthaus Wartenfels via a good-to-walk path, mostly through the forest underneath Schober. In total, this hike is short and rewarding. At a few places, there are steel ropes that help to ascend/descend and at some very few places you have to watch you step, when getting up, down, or around. With a little >>>

Grosser & Kleiner Sonnstein

Bergtour
Tourlänge:
3:00h
Entfernung:
5,5km

We started with two cars, leaving one a small parking spot south of Traunkirchen (if you drive from north, for ex., Gmunden, in the driection of Bad Ischl, then you first cut short Traunkirchen through a tunnel -- shortly afterwards you pass through a very short new tunnel and then the parking spot is on the right). Then we drove further, with the other car, towards Ebensee. As soon as we entered Ebensee, even before crossing the Traun, we turned right at the first opportunity (onto Hauptstrasse). After only a short distance -- basically at the first regular option to turn right, again -- we turned right (onto Langbarthstrasse). From there, we turn right again, into Kirchengasse -- this turn is not obvious (the turn is very sharp and Kirchengasse is very narrow). Right next to the church >>>

Traunstein

Tourlänge:
6:00h
Entfernung:
14,5km

Starting from Traunsee (~450m, southeast from Gmunden), up the Naturfreundesteig (climbing trail, category A/B), we first reached Traunsteinhaus (1575m, still quite new after a recent upgrading). It took a bit more than 2 hours, but easily this could be more, depending on the climbing conditions -- it's more than 1000m up a substantially steep climbing path! Then, we connected to Gmundner Hütte (1660m), another impressive house on top of this prominent mountain! The actual top, Traunstein (1691m) is then quite near and easy to reach. Down we took the trail towards Mair Alm, which is very steep, but good to go. All in all, including an extended break on Gmundner Hütte, this was about 6+ hours of hiking. Very rewarding!

Up from Bad Ischl (where the cable car starts, at 470m, via Bildweg) to Katrinalm (1413m), which is a nice, steep hike up (about 1000m up) and then -- after some nice rest with served food and drinks -- quickly up to Katrin-Kreuz (1542m) and Elferkogel (1601m). Down, then, very comfortably with the cable car. :-)

Hochleckenhaus (Höllengebirge)

Tourcharakter:

Tourlänge:
4:00h
Entfernung:
12,1km

Starting from Taferlklaussee (763m), we first ascended to Hochleckenhaus (1574m) via a well-marked path (note: the start is somehow unclear -- mostly due to many other small trails near and around Taferlklausssee). After a nice and refreshing rest at Hochleckenhaus -- yes, with served food and drinks! :-) -- we descended towards Steinbach am Attersee (via Geissalm and Stieg -- the 2nd option for hiking to Steinbach), which offers terrific views -- not at the least to Attersee! The path down from Höllengebirge is (partially) steep and it's hundreds of meters straight down next to the path in selected places (you better are not afraid of heights there). All in all, a great hike! :-) Selected photos are available as a Google photo album .
