Welcome to Summer in the Hills in the Lungau

Barely 100 kilometers from Salzburg, the City of Mozart, you can truly experience what makes an Alpine summer so special. Here, between mountain and valley, people feel grounded and begin to rediscover who they truly are. Short timeouts and breaks help you in your quest for meaning, to get back in touch with your senses and sensibilities. Slowing down the pace of your life, escaping the stresses of the outside world – both are possible in the Salzburger Lungau region. And did you know, the Salzburger Lungau was actually declared a Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO back in 2012? By accepting this prestigious distinction, the magnificent landscapes of Salzburger Lungau were also placed under special protection. This guarantees you will be able to look forward to incomparable holiday experiences for a long time to come: in the mountains, next to magically beautiful lakes, amid a land of living traditions and creative people who have never forgotten their roots.

Difficulty Rating for Hiking Paths in the Alpine RegionThe following descriptions assume dry, summerlike weather conditions.

• easySimple hiking paths in permanently populated areas and adjacent forested

areas, proceeding through flat terrain with few significant uphill stretches.Special Requirements: None, regular running shoes or street shoes are sufficient. No special equipment necessary. Navigable without use of a hiking map.

• intermediate/mediumMountain trails that require a certain degree of sure-footedness. Steep

stages, water courses, narrow trails at points, wash-out dirt and vegetation may be encountered along these trails.Special Requirements: Basic map-reading skills are required. Hiking/trekking/mountaineering boots with a good tread and extending above the ankle are recommended, as is a topographical hiking map of the area in question.

• difficultDifficult alpine and mountaineering trails, secured at exposed points by

cables, manmade stairways, ladders, chains etc. You may often need to use your hands to maintain balance and move along the trail. The precise trail is not always readily recognizable. Occasionally very exposed areas present a real danger of falling, loose rock, and steep grassy or rocky slopes. Summer hikers may well still encounter unthawed snowpack from the previous winter.Special Requirements: Hikers must have appropriate hiking and mountaineering experience, as well as being able to navigate with a detailed topographical hiking map. Hiking/trekking/mountaineering boots with a good tread and extending above the ankle are indispensible. Hikers should have no physical impairments preventing them from tackling fixed-cable stages, steep stairways or similar obstacles where hiking poles are occasional more of a handicap than a help.

In the Salzburg’s Lungau region you will often find additional red-white-red markings (some of which have trail numbers) next to the yellow trail signs, directing you from one sign location to the next.For important tips on how to stay safe in the mountains, please visit: https://www.lungau.at

Legendary People of Immense Strength

It is said that the simple, good farmhouse cooking, summers spent on the high pastures and the exercise that comes with having to walk long distances contributed to making the people of Zederhaus incredibly strong. Legends grew of people with almost supernatural strength. In this regard, Ignaz Kürsinger tells the tale of one particular son who was told by his father, a farmer in Zederhaus, to take a deer he had recently shot and register it with the authorities in Moosham. But instead of loading it onto the back of the wagon, he carried the creature on his shoulders, not dropping it until he stood in front of the game official in Moosham. The latter was astonished and asked where the lad’s wagon was. His matter-of-fact response: “For a deuced animal like this, it wasn’t worth the effort of harnessing up a horse. They were all out grazing anyway.”

Along the toll road (€ 8 fee, incl. valley bus during the main vacation season) by bus or car to the Schliereralm (1,495 m) in Riedingtal nature park and then take the valley bus to the Königalm (1,667 m). Beginning at the Schliereralm and following the romantic alpine hiking trail to the Königalm, hiking time approx. 1.5 hours. From the Königalm, we continue on the alpine path to the Zauneralm. Directly behind the Zauneralm we reach path no. 711 which leads us to the beautifully located Boarnlacke (2,214 m), a small lake. If you continue hiking, you will reach Riedingscharte gap (2,275 m). Ca. 100 m below, you can see the Riedingsee. For the hike down, you will backtrack along the same route. The route back to the point of departure is via the romantic alpine hiking trail or by valley bus.

The Court Butcher and Zederhaus Bread

Cattle traders from Salzburg used to trek across the Tappenkar and Taferlnock to sell their oxen and calves in Zederhaus. The court butcher, Perner, never shied away from making the long trip either, ever striving to supply the table of the Prince Archbishops with the best meat available. On one such occasion, he had just come to an agreement with a hill farmer and sealed the deal with a handshake. The farmer’s wife served up a hearty snack which included bread and butter. The fine gentleman ate the butter, and slid the bread into his pocket, saying, “I’ll take that with me to Salzburg so that my lords see what terrible bread you have.” On the Tappenkar, however, he was surprised by bad weather. Exhausted and hungry, he rummaged about and pulled out the bread. Nibbling away, he gradually regained his strength, later claiming that he had never tasted better bread.

From the Jakoberalm parking lot in the Riedingtal nature park in Zederhaus - ca. 0.5 km before the Schliereralm (toll road/€ 8 fee, incl. valley bus during the main vacation season), a supply road branching off to the right leads to the Jakoberalm at an elevation of 1,839 m (time on trail ca. 1 hour). Westward on path no. 702, you will reach the Esser See at an elevation of 2,088 m. From there, you will go uphill to the Franz Fischer Hut (2,020 m), where the Zaunersee is also located. Downhill via the Hüttenweg path (no. 711), you will again reach the Riedingtal road. Return to your starting point either along the road or via a romantic hiking path across alpine meadows (during main holiday periods, it is also possible to ride the valley bus from the Franz-Fischer-Hütte car park to the starting point). The hiking route is also possible in the opposite order.

Riedingtal Nature Park, Zederhaus

Death of the Königbauer Farmer below the Haselloch

The beautiful Zederhaus Valley was once particularly remote and daunting, being about a six- to seven-hour hike from the market town of St. Michael. Not much longer and far more beautiful is the trail over the Tappenkar (elev. 2,135 m) to Kleinarl or a crossing of the Taferlnock (elev. 2,236 m) into the Flachau region. Messengers, woodcutters, peddlers, pig castrators and cattle dealers all hiked along these trails and “into the wide outside world.”

At the best times of year, even the most locally savvy and hardy wanderers had to be watchful of drastic changes in the weather. On October 8, 1844, Blasius Dorfer, who lived on the Königbauer farm in Zederhaus, came to an untimely end. Together with his sister, a dairymaid at their parents’ hill farm, he was on his way from the cattle market in St. Johann when they were overcome by driving snows. Ignaz Kürsinger wrote down the story of the two unfortunate siblings, as it was retold to him by Maria Dorfer: I tapped my way slowly forward in the dark, gloomy night – in the snow and fog – but without knowing where I was heading. Overcome by enormous fatigue, I called back to my brother to tell him to follow me. Full of fear, I shouted “Come, we’re going home!” But her brother’s voice was lost in the dark, snowy night. Maria Dorfer eventually fell down a snow-covered slope on the Wurmfeldspitze and lost consciousness, though she was able to save herself on the following day, finding her way back to her mountain hut, where the shocked herdsman there gave the half-frozen woman some hot soup and sent for farmhands in the valley to help assist in the recovery of her unfortunate brother.

Along the toll road (€ 8 fee, incl. valley bus during the main vacation season) by bus or car to the Schliereralm (1,495 m) in Riedingtal nature park and then by valley bus to the Königalm (1,667 m) or by walking on the romantic hiking trail. The uphill trail leads from the Königalm (1,667 m) to the Haselloch (2,136 m). From there, we take marked path no. 702, which is uphill at first and then continues down into the valley, to the Ilgsee. The Zaunersee is located right by the Franz Fischer Hut (2,020 m). The downhill trail into Riedingtal is via Hüttenweg path (no. 711).

㆕ Rothenwändersee (elev. 2,010 m)

Riedingtal Nature Park, Zederhaus

Jovial, high-spirited people of Zederhaus

The Zederhaus Prangstangen are quite famous. These large, 6-8-meter-high, wooden poles, beautifully garlanded in flowers, are ceremoniously paraded to church on the 24th of June. Of course, this process requires some strong young lads. Many tales have been told over the years about these jovial, crafty and thoroughly muscular citizens of Zederhaus. Even the term Hanswurst – the German name given to a village buffoon – is said to have its origins with a native of this valley. The village church is actually consecrated to two saints, John the Baptist and John the Evangelist, which is why so many local boys were christened Johannes (meaning John, commonly shortened to Hans or Hannes). Historian Ignaz Kürsinger, who was the superintendent of Lungau schools during the 1840’s, once commented that the valley’s children often bore the strangest Christian names. There I read Petronilla and Angela, Isabella and Hemma, Polikarpus and Athanasius, etc. (733). The originator of these odd names turned out to be Vicar Joseph Königsdorfer, who summarily gave newborns whatever name happened to appear on the church calendar on the day of their christening.

From the Jakoberalm parking lot in Riedingtal nature park in Zederhaus - ca. 0.5 km before the Schliereralm (toll road/€ 8 fee, incl. valley bus during the main vacation season), a supply road branching off to the right leads to the Jakoberalm at an elevation of 1,839 m (time on trail ca. 1 hour). From there, we hike along the “Tauernhöhenweg” no. 702 up to the Rothenwändersee (2,010 m) and continue to the junction for the Grosskesselalmen. Path no. 741 then leads downhill into the valley to the Riedingstraße and from there back to the starting point.

⓹ Schlierersee (elev. 1,495 m)

Riedingtal Nature Park, Zederhaus

Of the Weisseck Dog

Above the Riedingsee (elev. 2,169 m), where the hiker can look out over the flower-covered Upper Rieding Valley, towers the mighty Weisseck (elev. 2,711 m), home to quartz and rare minerals and to the legends into which they are woven. Where today’s Schlierersee now lies, there was once a broad area of high moors, the so-called Ei´g´hagtes Moos. The pathway there from Zederhaus was known as the Winter Way, because sleighs loaded with hay or wood once traveled along this route.

The last farm in the valley was the old Schwarzenbichler property. This meant, of course, that its residents also had the longest walk to church. One stormy, pitch-black night, a strange visitor knocked on the front door. It was an icy grey mountain dwarf with a knee-length beard and a storm lantern, who immediately ordered the farmer’s wife to follow him. Their path, according to the tale, took them steeply uphill to the rocky cliffs of the Weisseck. Once at the top, the dwarf now explained, they would encounter the Weisseck Dog which, at this very midnight hour, would appear before the mountain with a wooden key in its mouth. With this key, the farmer’s wife would be able to unlock all the treasures hidden within the mountain. Sadly, faced with the prospect of meeting this scary creature, the woman did not have the courage to carry on. The treasure remained where it was. But it is said that if the pine tree in front of the house is ever felled in order to build a cradle, the child who lies in it will again be called upon to win those mysterious treasures.

A Lake used for Hydroelectric PowerThis expedition begins on the enchanting hiking path that leaves

from the car park located near the southern entrance to the Tauern Tunnel (elev. 1,345 m). The hike to the Schlierersee takes about 1 hour. As you follow this trail, you will pass several alpine huts on the way to the Örgenhiasalm (elev. 1,710 m) in the Upper Rieding Valley. This portion of the hike takes around 2 hours. A valley bus runs between the Schliereralm and Königalm mountain inns.

⓺ Mühlbachsee (elev. 2,115 m)

Nahendfeld in Zederhaustal

Wandering along the water’s edge

Growing on the sunny hill-sides of the Salzburger Lun-gau, protected from the pre-vailing winds, are rye, oats and barley. In the past there was enough here for people to live from. And after harvest, the mills along the stream would clatter day and night, with everyone eagerly awaiting the grain and flour to make their daily bread. Zederhaustal was teeming with mills. The farms’ own mills were known as “Gmachmühlen”, since they also featured a separate room (“Gemach”) where someone could also spend the night and keep an eye on the milling process. But aside from these, milling was also a profession in its own right. Mills stood in a long line along the banks of the Nahendfeldbach, not far from where it flows into the Zederhausbach. In fact, one of these can still be seen to this day. Their big wooden millwheels were driven by water from the Mühlbachsee. The biggest was once owned by a miller, a miserly and greedy man who was envious of the smaller mills run by the farmers. Secretly he stole grain and kept grist entrusted to him for himself. If he had had his own way, he would have loved nothing more than to have total control over all of the valley’s grain. Once again in the pitch black of night, he sneaked out to the nearby mills. But as he was about to drop off his stolen load at his own mill, something amazing and quite incredible happened. The miller’s beard began to grow, it grew and grew so fast that it soon lay in waves across the floor and even billowed out the door. He finally found some scissors in a drawer and cut it off. But it continued to grow, to the point he couldn’t even think of doing his regular work anymore, since he needed all of his time to trim back his beard. In despair, he asked a wise man for his sage advice. “Give back what you took from others!” was the answer he received. Upon hearing this, the miller crept repentantly back to his mill. Sack by sack he lugged back to the rightful owners. And miraculous-ly, with every sack he handed back his beard became a little bit shorter, until finally, it stopped growing altogether. This brought such joy to the miller that, from that time on, he became a better person. And as you might imagine, all of his neighbours were thrilled by the change as well.

The starting point for this hike is the car park by the Hub bus stop, right next to the bridge on the Nahendfeldgraben. The hike takes you up a supply path past Mitterhuberbauer farm to a small, high plateau where an area of alpine pastures known as the Nahendfeldalmen extends out before you (ca. 1 hour walk). Here you continue via a marked trail, past the lower and upper Lechneralm. Now amid high meadows in full bloom, you will hike up a serpentine path to the emerald-green Mühlbachsee. Return via the same route.

柒 Blauseen (elev. 2,013 m)

Twenger Lantschfeld

Of the Lantschfeld Witches

Lying in an isolated combe beneath the Grosser (elev. 2,501 m) and Kleiner Pleisslingkeil (elev. 2,418 m) – the two highest peaks of the Radstädter Tauern – are the two Blauseen lakes. From this beautiful lookout point, hikers are able to enjoy fantastic views of the Tauern mountains and out across the alpine pastures of the Lantschfeld. The valley head was once the site of one of the Lungau region’s biggest hut villages, including a small chapel which, after undergoing complete restoration, still stands to this day. Though an avalanche in the 1930’s destroyed most of the huts, these pastures continue to be used for summer grazing. The dairymaids who once ran these huts must have been quite resolute and hardworking people who demanded a degree of fear and respect, otherwise they would not have acquired their nickname as the La´schfödhexen (= Lantschfeld Witches). At the beginning of June, the time of year when cattle were returned to the high pastures, the rain so vital for the growth of seeds and the fields frequently did not arrive. But through years of experience, the older residents of the Lungau developed the superstition that, whenever the Lantschfeld Witches returned to their alpine huts, the event would always be accompanied by beneficial rains.

You can drive your car through the magical Lantschfeld Valley – as far as the Almtor. From there, hike along trail no. 744, which will bring you to the hut village and a chapel (elev. 1,649 m). From here, the path leads up to the Windsfeld (elev. 1,950 m). At the fork, branch off to the right towards the Blauseen lakes. At the entrance to the Lantschfeld Valley, just past the large lumber yard, you will see a gate. For a fee of € 6, you can obtain the key to this gate from the village hall in Tweng, open Monday through Thursday from 8.00 am – 3.30 pm and Friday from 8.00 am – 11.30 am. Outside of these times, the key can also be obtained from the Muik Family at Gasthof Twengerhof, right across from the village hall.

⓼ Twenger Almsee (elev. 2,120 m)

Obertauern Lantschfeld

Subterranean Link

From the Twenger Almsee, you can look out across the broad Tweng Valley, which in its turn rises towards the Radstädter Tauern Pass. The ancient Romans once passed through here, maintaining a refuge – known as a mansio – on the pass heights, at the site where today’s visitors can visit the “Cemetery of the Unknowns.” In the Early Middle Ages, the trail over the Oberhüttensattel grew more important since it held fewer perils in store for travelers. The range that lies between, with its countless lakes and high pastures, rewards you with magical views in both directions. Above the combe, at the point where you cross over to the Schönalmsee, you can enjoy one-of-a-kind vistas including the sight of three different lakes. This was also a source of excitement for Michael Dengg, a collector of Lungau legends, who heard from an old hill farmer that, according to legend, Twenger Almsee and the Schönalmsee are connected with one another below ground.

The hike begins at the Schaidberg youth hostel in Obertauern and takes you along trail no. 8 to the Ernst Hut (elev. 1,869 m, closed to the public). The trail now becomes quite flat, taking you to the “Twenger Alm” and branching off to the left just before a barn. You will now cross delightful alpine meadows and tackle somewhat steep climbs until you reach the beautiful Twenger Almsee at 2,120 meters above sea level. You can now return to the Schaidberg or descend into the Weisspriach Valley, making your way via the Schönalmsee and Wirpitschsee to the Grangler Hut (mountain traverse).

Elevation Change: ca. 500 mDifficulty: • intermediateTime on Trail: approximately 2 hours from the youth hostel to the Twenger AlmseeBus Service: No. 280 to Mauterndorf – Obertauern Schaidberg or No. 720 to Mariapfarr – Weisspriach – Znach turn-off – Grangler Hut – Uln HutParking: close to the Schaidberg youth hostel, Znachtal turn-off in the Weisspriach Valley (coin-operated toll booth/fee based)Refreshments: Toni Mörtl Hut, Grangler Hut, Jausenstation Dicktler Hut, Twenger-Alm

⓽ Trogalmseen (elev. 1,808 m)

Grosseck Mauterndorf

Witches’ Dance on the Speiereck

The Speiereck (elev. 2,411 m) has a reputation as the Lungau region’s witch mountain, with numerous dark tales swirling around it. How did that happen? Well, the sun rises behind the Preber, but sinks behind the Speiereck into a world of shadow. The light of day was extinguished behind this mountain. The night begins its dominion, accompanied by its fiendish companions - witches and sorcerers - who dance in a sinister tempest of lightning and thunder around the summit. Ignaz Kürsinger also became aware of this superstition and reports that, according to local lore, the soul of Schörgentoni also gets up to no good atop the Speiereck, where he conjures up storms, tosses stones and rocks down on cattle grazing below and, upon the stroke of midnight, is visited by witches and sorcerers. It finally got to the point that a Capuchin priest was sent up the mountain to exorcise this evil spirit. But today’s hiker has no cause for fear and is able to enjoy the enchanting landscapes and glorious views that surround the Trogalmsee. In the most beautiful way imaginable, virtually the entire Lungau basin lies right here at your feet – without ever having to resort to magic of any kind!

The Trogalm Lakes are actually manmade, supplying the water to run snowmaking equipment in winter. They were built with great sensitivity for the surrounding countryside and are a highly popular hiking destination in summer. The starting point for this hike in Mauterndorf can be the old lift path, the old Trogweg, or the forest path from the ski center. The hike takes about 2.5 hours. Late-risers can ride the cabin lift, hike from the summit terminal down to the Trogalmsee/Trogalm (elev. 1,808 m) or up to the Speiereck Hut (elev. 2,072 m). Our starting point in St. Michael is across from Hotel Post. Along Schulstrasse as far as St. Martin-Berg, then make a left at the panorama info board towards Sonndörfl (trail no. 93). From there, make a right at the Bacherhof towards the Grubental, then somewhat more steeply uphill to the Trogalm and Trogalm lakes at 1,808 m above sea level. Time on trail is about 2.5 hours.

Elevation Change: ca. 750 mDifficulty: • intermediateTime on Trail: ca. 2.5 hours Bus Service: No. 700/780 to Mauterndorf – Grosseck valley terminal or No. 700/710 to St. Michael – Weissenstein Parking: Grosseck valley terminal, St. Michael town centerRefreshments: Restaurant Panorama Alm, Trogalm, Speiereck Hut, Peterbauer Almstub´n

⓾ Giglachsee (elev. 1,921 m)

Weisspriach Valley

Of the Schatzbühel and the Venediger in the Granierkar

Schatzbühel is the name of the last slope preceding the final climb up to the Znachsattel. The mining tradition, which was of such significance for this region, once again resonates in this name. A total of eleven separate mineral operations were active here, mining for copper, iron, zinc, and cobalt. Mining was conducted in the Knappenstubengraben south-east of the Granglergut, both at the entrance to and also within the Upper Znachtal Valley, primarily on the Zinkwand, once the focal point of Lungau mining. It is said that the legendary Venediger dwarf used to cross the Schatzbühel. Year after year, the Venediger would come to the Gronia Alm, armed with a divining rod and mirror and a pickaxe, with which he would tear up the precious alpine turf. That is to say, until this all became too much for a cowherd who gave the dwarf a thorough beating. Years later, this same cowherd had become a more respectable person, travelling the countryside as a pig castrator. One day, he entered a rather eminent abode whose owner struck him as oddly familiar. The owner immediately addressed him by name and, it turned out, he was indeed the same miscreant the former cowherd had driven away from the hill farm long ago. Our Lungau friend became rather sheepish, but the owner remained quite friendly and even invited him up to the top floor of his home, where laid out before them was a beautiful collection of crystals and rocks gleaming with gold. “These made me rich,” stated the Venediger, “and back in those days, you threw many a rock at a cow that was worth far more than the cow itself.”

This hike begins at the car park by the turn-off for the Znachtal, located in the Upper Weisspriach Valley, which is easy to reach either by car or on the valley bus (coin-operated toll booth/fee based). You will branch off to the right on trail no. 771, taking you through the Znachtal to the “Obere Greinmeisteralm” (elev. 1,620 m) and then on to the Znachsattel (elev. 2,059 m). The lake lies at 1,921 m and the Giglachsee Hut at 1,955 meters above sea level.

⓫ Oberer Schönalmsee (elev. 2,115 m)

Weisspriach Valley

A Dangerous Dancer

The extended mountain ridge that stretches from the Tauern to the summits of the Tauernhöhe (elev. 2,328 m), Gollitschspitz (elev. 2,247 m), Gurpitschek (elev. 2,526 m), Karnereck (elev. 2,380 m) and Fanninghöhe, divides the Tweng Valley from the Weisspriach Valley. Magnificent mountain scenery is sprinkled with beautiful lakes amidst delightful alpine pastures, one of the biggest of which is the Schönalm. Dairymaids and cowherds would tend the cattle, sheep, pigs, and goats, filling the butter churns and cheese kettles week after week. On a warm summer’s night, musicians would strike up their dance music and couples would whirl through the moonlit night. The mysterious wild women would come out of their caves and mix with the dancers. Their robes were bright and delicate, their hair light and long, a fragrance like that of elder blossoms wafting in the evening breezes. The dancing was punctuated every now and then by the joyous Juschgaza yells of the young men, echoing off the surrounding mountains. But an unwelcome guest might sneak into this picture as well- a truly fiendish, unfamiliar character, perhaps, dressed in the costume of a hunter, splitting up many a couple and seducing the local beauties. It is said that many of these dancers now repent their wicked recklessness inside Satan’s Wall above Tweng. But not everyone is scared away by tales such as these for, as the local saying goes: In the hill country, there is no such thing as sin!

The starting point for this hike is the car park at the turn-off for the

Znachtal in the Upper Weisspriach Valley, which is easy to reach by car or on the valley bus (coin-operated toll booth/fee based). The hike takes you along gravel path no. 770, past the Grangler Hut (elev. 1,320 m) to the trail fork at the Uln Hut (stop for the valley bus). Make a left behind the hut, continue past the roaring waterfall and cross the Longa. After about 200 m, a marked hiking trail breaks off to the left and takes you to the Toni Mörtl Hut, where refreshments are available. Having reached the hut, you will first keep straight and then make a left, hiking past the Wirpitschsee (elev. 1,699 m) to the Lower Schönalmsee (elev. 1,893 m). From here, the trail continues to climb toward your destination, the Upper Schönalmsee (elev. 2,115 m).

⓬ Oberhüttensee (elev. 1,866 m)

Weisspriach Valley

A Deadly Pilgrimage to the Filzmooser Kindl

Before the ascent to the Oberhüttensattel and just beyond the last mountain hut, there stands a lonely wayside altar to commemorate a fatal accident that occurred on October 12, 1817. For a long time, the incident was only known in the form of the legend of The Two Denggen Women. Pastor Josef Schitter examined the rotting board more closely and was able to decipher names and a date. The following entry had also been made in the death registry in Mariapfarr: The 19-year-old daughter of the Denggen farm, Maria, and Katharina Moser, 28 years of age, daughter of a tenant farmer in Steindorf, in service as a maid at the Denggen farm, embarked on a pilgrimage to Filzmoos on October 11, 1817. In order to do so, they used the commonly traveled and quite beautiful crossing over the Oberhüttensattel. Such expeditions on foot were not only regarded as spiritual exercises, they were also healthy and enjoyable, taught participants about the outside world, and, last but not least, would provide returning travelers with Styrian apples to fill their rucksacks. But in this particular case, things took a bad turn. On their return journey, the two young women were surprised by fog and driving snow. Already worn out by the strenuous walk through the Forstau Valley, they succumbed to their exhaustion just below the Oberhüttensattel. When they were finally discovered a few days later, it is said that tears frozen to ice still stood upon their cheeks.

The starting point for this hike is the car park at the turn-off for the Znachtal in the Upper Weisspriach Valley, which is easy to reach by car or on the valley bus (coin-operated toll booth/fee based). The hike takes you along gravel path no. 770, past the Grangler Hut (elev. 1,320 m) to the trail fork at the Uln Hut (stop for the valley bus). You will now make a right after the marked path, later taking trail no. 770. Once atop the Oberhüttensattel, you will discover the lake (elev. 1,866 m) and the Ober Hut (elev. 1,869 m), where refreshments are available. Take the same route back to the car park.

⓭ Wirpitschsee, Tiefenbachsee (elev. 1,699 m, 1,846 m)

Weisspriach Valley

The Frimlgeist

At the foot of the Teufelskirche, the Upper Weisspriach Valley divides into two arms. Take a right and you will come to the Znachtal, while a left will bring you to the Oberhütte and the Wirpitschsee. Before you reach this fork, the path takes you up narrow, steep stage known as the Lahntörl. In earlier times, this area was often threatened by avalanches and rockslides, a place many people found to be very creepy and unsettling. Not far from here is the lower Frimlalm. On the way there is a rock on which, with a little imagination, you will have no problem making out the shape of claws and a face.

The following event is said to have occurred here: It was Christmas Eve and a farmhand from the Frimlbauer Farm was making a long trek out to an alpine hut, in order to fetch back the lid of a butter churn that had been forgotten there. In the local dialect, the object is known as a Riakiwebai. In midwinter, especially, a solitary traveler must always expect strange encounters, for these nights are, after all, the domain of demons and spirits. The lad believed none of this. However, he did begin to get a few butterflies in his stomach as he heard a strange call coming from a rocky mountainside: Attack, attack, don’t you see the red-haired man? Equally as uncanny came the response: I can’t get to him, he is led by that four-legged biter! Now the lad did indeed have his brave dog, Vieräugl, at his side. When he tied him to the fence of the hut in order to retrieve the Riakiwebai from within, the poor animal began to whimper quite pitifully. When he returned from the hut, he couldn’t have been more taken aback, for standing there before him were two tethered dogs, identical in every way. One of the animals seemed like a kind creature to him, with its tail wagging back and forth, so the farmhand went ahead and released him. But that was the wrong decision. Next to a boulder appeared a black dwarf, who placed his cold, clawed hand on the lad’s shoulder and whispered: Whatsoever this day delivers to me, shall belong to me evermore! Thus began a fray for life and death, and the boy would certainly have been lost if it were not for the fact that his brave companion, Vieräugl, had torn himself loose in order to aid his master. Suddenly, the black dwarf disappeared like a ghost in the night. But how thoroughly did this night change the young man! The next morning, when he stepped into the farmhouse at the Frimlbauer Farm, the young farmhand had been transformed into an old man with grey hair.

Larch Trees Ablaze in the Autumn Sunlight

Autumn tours of the mountains promise a brilliant display of color: golden sunshine, blue skies and larch trees resplendent in oranges, yellows and greens. Unforgettable moments are guaranteed. The sparkling blue waters of the Wirpitsch and Tiefenbach lakes below the Tauernhöhe, larches and defiant pine trees, along with the crumbling walls of abandoned mountain huts, take the romance of this mountain setting to even greater heights and turn it into a picture book landscape filled with lasting memories.

The starting point for this hike is the car park at the turn-off for the Znachtal in the Upper Weisspriach Valley, which is easy to reach by car or on the valley bus (coin-operated toll booth/fee based).

⓮ Lignitzsee (elev. 1,965 m)

Mariapfarr Lignitz

Spellbound Fishes and the Mountain Dwarves of the Hundstein

Meat was a relatively rare treat in the olden days. But older farmers still recall how, in the days when they were still young shepherds and cowherds, they were able to catch char, trout and schwareiter, all of which they refer to as “small fish.” Up at the hill farms, especially, where there was only butter, cheese soup and cheese for days on end, a fish in the frying pan was a welcome change of pace. The fish in the tranquil waters of the Lignitzsee were also highly desired. But word had it that the dwarves who inhabited the Hundstein guarded the stock of fish in this lake. These were said to be no ordinary fish, but rather spellbound spirits that the dwarves had under their control. As if conjured up from the depths of the earth itself, an iron-grey dwarf would suddenly be seen standing on the shore, tightly wrapped up in his hooded cloak and never uttering a sound. This supernatural creature and his kind have never spoken a single word to man.

Water from the Lignitzsee drains off in mysterious fashion as well. The Lignitzbach flows down to the valley below in three stages, though in doing so, it only reveals itself twice and very briefly above ground.

Setting out from the Kocherbauer Farm (run by the Daum Family) in the Lignitz Valley, you will come to a car park and a gate after 1,500 meters. Hike along this flat gravel road to the upper huts, then across beautiful alpine pastures (trail no. 774) up to the lake (elev. 1,965 m).

⓯ Landwierseen (elev. 1,977 m, 2,047 m)

Göriach Valley

Kaswurm Snake and Kasastoa

The dairymaids of Göriach were always proud of their good cheese. But one day, the cheese worms (Kaswurm) bored into the white and golden yellow rounds of cheese, causing them to become ongla grausig, as the people of the Lungau say whenever they feel that something tastes dreadful. The legend goes on to say that a hunter finally found a long, white snake at the base of a rock on the trail’s edge not far from the hut village. He waited patiently until he was finally able to fire a deadly shot. The monster immediately fell apart into a pile of tiny worms which, as quick as a flash, disappeared into the cracks and fissures of the ground. Since that time, the dairymaids at this hut village have been spared from these vexatious cheese worms, with their savory cheeses appealing even to the most gourmet of palates. The cheese stone (Kasastoa) stands there to this day – clearly visible on the edge of the trail where, as hikers make their way into the valley, the picturesque hut village comes into view. It was also here that the new cowherds were officially welcomed into the community.

From the turning place located just outside the hut village in the Upper Göriach Valley, you will take trail no. 775 to the Landawirsee Hut (elev. 1,985 m). Continuing past the hut, you will come to the smaller Lower Landwiersee (elev. 1,977 m) and the bigger Upper Landwiersee (elev. 2,047 m). The hike from the car park to the Landwierseen takes about 2 hours.

⓰ Gralatisee (elev. 1,816 m)

Upper Lessachtal

The Golden Hen

In the secluded Gralatikar – at the foot of the Hochgolling – lies a small mountain tarn, one of many that adorn the crossing from the Lessachtal to the Schladminger Tauern. For many an hour during the day, the tall rocky crags of the Hochgolling are reflected in its dark green waters, giving the abandoned alpine hut there an almost fairytale appearance.

It has been a long time since the gold miners of the Lessachtal dug for silver, copper, and sulfur, with their greatest bounty discovered on the steep slopes of the Hochgolling itself. At dizzying elevations, they drove their mine galleries deep into the mountainside. Many entrances and steps hewn out of the rock are visible to this day. With the arrival of winter, the miners would abandon the mines and return again in the springtime. One area of snow, located above the Gralatikar, would always remain, taking on the silhouette of a hen, a sign to the miners that the ore mines were once again free of ice and snow. The ore of the Hochgolling petered out many, many years ago and mining ceased, but the Golden Hen above the Gralatisee is still there for everyone to see.

Leaving from the Lasshoferalm (elev. 1,270 m) in the Upper Lessach Valley (toll road/fee: € 5), you will initially hike out in a northerly direction to the point where the valley forks. Hike to the left (west) along the trail, which will take you on a steady climb directly to the eastern slopes of the Hochgolling and the Gollinganger. From there you will continue southwards to the Gralatisee (elev. 1,816 m).

⓱ Landschitzseen (elev. 1,778 m, 1,937 m)

Upper Lessachtal

Of the mysterious Kasmandl

The dwarf-like, half-savage Kasmandl is an alpine spirit who, in the summer months, inhabits the highest peaks, darkest forests and most inaccessible areas, feeding upon roots and wild herbs. At Martinmas, in late autumn, the little rascal leaves his hiding place and sneaks into the abandoned alpine huts, where he spends his time snacking on remnants of butter and cheese, left there by the hill farmers as a friendly gesture toward him. But in late spring, when up in the mountains the very first grasses and herbs are beginning to peek out of the ground, the Kasmandl must leave the huts and head back up toward the high, lonely mountaintops. Just before the cattle are driven up to the alpine pastures for summer grazing and the dairymaids and cowherds settle in for the summer, the farmer would generally hike up to his hut alone and check that everything was as it should be. Upon his return home, he would then tell his eagerly attentive children how he had, once again, driven away the Kasmandl.

The lowest of the three Landschitzseen (elev. 1,778 m) can be reached from the Lasshoferalm (elev. 1,270 m) in the Upper Lessachtal (toll road/fee: € 5) via a marked trail (no. 784). The hike takes about 2 hours. We would recommend continuing your hike to the middle and then the upper Landschitzsee (elev. 1,937 m). The hike from one lake to the next takes about 45 minutes.

Upper Lessachtal

Chance Encounters with the Kasmandl

The Kasmandl shies away from people, making any chance encounter so very rare, wondrous and mysterious, that a legend would be woven around any such occurrence. Two such stories come to us from the Lessachtal. Once upon a time there was a hunter who, having just killed a chamois, decided to cook up some fresh liver at an unoccupied mountain hut. As he stepped in the door, he saw no other than the Kasmandl, who was already cooking up his own meal, a charred frog on a wooden skewer sizzling over the open fire.

Yet another tale reveals that the Kasmandl is also a lover of music. A farmhand from Lessach, who also happened to be a wonderful fiddle player, made a deal with the farmer that if he were able to entice the Kasmandl down from the hill country with his music, he would receive a spotted milk cow as his reward. On Martinmas Eve, the time for the trial had finally arrived. The Kasmandl, accompanied by a black cow, strode by the fiddle player and the astonished farmers, before disappearing into the murky night.

From the car park at the Lasshoferalm (elev. 1,270 m) in the Upper Lessachtal (toll road/fee: € 5), we begin a somewhat challenging hike. At the trail fork, you will take trail no. 777 to the biggest lake in the Lungau region, the Zwerfenbergsee, elev. 2,024 m. The hike takes about 3.5 hours. A detour to the somewhat higher Angersee (elev. 2,100 m), which takes about 30 minutes, is highly recommended.

⓳ Prebersee (elev. 1,514 m)

Tamsweg Preber Area

The Golden Harrow

Nestled within a delightful, sunny stretch of land is the mysterious Prebersee (elev. 1,514 m). Suspended matter in the water of the moors gives the water surface its dark color. Along the flanks of the Preber (elev. 2,740 m), with its imposing ridgeline, there extends a broad region of alpine pastures boasting a number of rewarding hiking destinations. But rather than the soothing mountain sun, it was the call of gold that enticed treasure hunters to the area throughout the centuries. The old Venediger Books chronicle the existence of the so-called Bishop’s Hole below the Trogleiteneck on the way to the Preberspitze, the site of a gold mine from which high-quality gold ore was extracted over a protracted period of time. Inscriptions on the rocks at the entrance to this protected cave remind us of those days long past. Legend, incidentally, has now transferred the legendary Preber Gold to the lake itself. According to this legend, at some point in the distant future, the lake’s tranquil waters will rise over its shores and flood the entire area of the Murboden. Finally, a harrow made of pure gold will be washed up from the lakebed, one so valuable that it will be possible to rebuild everything anew, including St. Leonhard’s Church. What fears the people of those times must have lived with! Nowadays, we probably have a better perspective on things, seeing those flecks of gold that sparkle atop the lake’s dark moorland waters as perhaps the one grain of truth to this particular legend.

Reachable by car or valley bus from Tamsweg. An alpine moorland lake is located at 1,514 m above sea level is circled by the Self-guided Moors Trail around the lake. Leaving from the car parks, the walk takes about 45 minutes.

⓴ Rosaninsee (elev. 2,080 m)

Bundschuh Nature Sanctuary

The Spirit in the Freimannsloch

The alpine meadows of the Nockberge mountains, fragrant with smell of the herb muskroot, were first worn beautifully smooth by ice-age glaciers and subsequently deforested by ore miners.

Hikers here roam through a very peaceful world. Mining ceased about 100 years ago, which meant that a fire has not burned in the Bundschuh smelter for about the same period of time. But legend has it that there are still treasures out there, hidden amid the fissured crags above the Rosaninsee. One now legendary spot became known as the Freimannsloch. Year after year, a treasure hunter would come here and extract his rewards from a mysterious cave between Stangalm and Rosanin. “If people only knew what wealth lay below their feet, they would have far fewer concerns,” he once revealed to a poor shepherd. The latter, of course, had no grasp that wealth might also come in the form of pristine beautiful countryside. He secretly searched for the hidden cave and did indeed find gold and silver. The local magistrate found his newly acquired fortune suspicious and, since he refused to reveal the truth, he was cast into a dungeon. Only in the night before his scheduled execution did he confide the details to the executioner, in exchange for a promise that he would gain his freedom. The executioner was a scoundrel, kept the secret to himself and put the man to the sword the next morning. But he, too, did not escape punishment, for it is his spirit which now haunts the Freimannsloch, where he stands guard with a bloody axe, scaring away potential intruders.

Setting out from the car park across from the Family and Youth hostel Schönfeld or from the Dr. Josef Mehrl Hut (elev. 1,730 m), you will cross the bridge and then make a left, hiking steadily uphill along trail no. 126 to the Rosaninsee (elev. 2,080 m). Once there, we would highly recommend a hike up to the Grosser Königstuhl (elev. 2,336 m). The hike to the Rosaninsee takes about 1.5 hours, the hike from the Rosaninsee to the Grosser Königstuhl approximately 1 hour.

㉑ Rotgüldensee (elev. 1,735 m)

Muhr, the Nature Park Village

The Golden Treasure in the Lake

As evening commences, the lake becomes a sea of reddish gold, warm rays of sunshine streaming across the glistening waters. Rotgülden is a place that still resonates with the long, eventful history of those mines, miners and gold prospectors that were once so much a part of this region.

There was once a rich mine owner, or so the tale would have it, who oversaw gold mining in Muhrwinkel. He was a proud, hard on his miners, but his love for his only daughter surpassed all else. Then the daughter fell in love with a poor mine worker. Overcome with jealousy, the father forbade her any future contact. Overcome by grief, the girl became mortally ill and, in a matter of days, was borne out to the cemetery. The father was in utter despair and, from this day on, hated gold as much as death itself. So filled with sorrow was he, that he sank his entire fortune into the dark waters of this lake, which has been known as the Rotgüldensee (red-gold lake) ever since.

Leaving from the car park at the Arsenhaus (elev. 1,341 m, the hut is not open to the public), you will take the self-guided nature trail to the Rotgüldensee Hut and on to the lower Rotgüldensee (elev. 1,735 m). Option to take way-marked shortcuts (rather steep) leading through different kinds of vegetation (e.g. columbine, larkspur, wild oregano and marjoram, a variety of orchids etc.). From the hut, a beautiful trail leads out above the lake shore to the far shoreline, taking us through tall vegetation and rare plants. A unique experience for anyone who loves flowers. The hike takes about 1.5 hours.

㉒ Karwassersee (elev. 1,897 m)

Muhr, the Nature Park Village

The Witch in the Belfry in Muhr

It had just turned midnight, when a witch on her broom-stick roared into the belfry in Muhr. Her raven-black hair was shaggy, and her dress was equally so. Flying around her were four large birds: a big raven, a screech owl, a jay and an old wood grouse.

With a hammer, she struck the metal, and the bell emitted a dark hum. But she wasn’t content with that. She struck the thick metal coating of the bell with even greater rage, so that a hollow drone could be heard, just as if it were an extended, deep toll of mourning. But the bell remained intact. No matter how much she hammered on it and abused its bronze sides, she was unable to put the hole in it she so hoped for. She fell upon it with a fury, accompanied by a moaning, roaring and hissing, as if all the spirits of hell had been unleashed. But soon the witching hour had past and, though she hadn’t accomplished a thing, the evil witch and her four birds were compelled to withdraw. Since that time, however, the bell in Muhr has lost its beautiful ring. That said, its power to fend off evil weather witchery has endured. It is still possible to see a crack that had never quite managed to split open, on its inner surface. This is known as the Witch’s Mark.

From the Muritzen car park (toll road € 5 fee/coin-operated) you will take the wide forest road as far as the chapel. To the left of the chapel, you will follow the path through the Muritzen hut village. After crossing the bridge, continue to the right on the eastern side of the valley on a marked path along the banks of the Muritzenbach until you come to the Karwassersee. If you now hike via the eastern shores of this lake, then head west to the Schwarzkar, you will come to the Schwarzseen lakes. However, this path is not marked, so it is only recommended for surefooted hikers with mountain experience.

㉓ Anderleseen (elev. 2,080 m)

Bundschuh nature preserve

The legend of the bloody meadow A lot of speculation among history experts

The smooth landscape of the Nockberge in the most southern corner of Lungau was deforested by iron min-ing. There are now green alpine meadows as far as the eye can see. Tumultuousness and stress are quickly forgot-ten here.

How could the legend of the bloody meadow unfold in such peaceful countryside? Yet, this story, a popular oral history in these parts, is said to be rather true. This area has actually been attacked by warring factions three different times. The set-ting of this legend is a type of embankment, which surrounds an alpine plain on three sides. It is divided to the south by the Kremsbach and in the east by the Bundschuhbach. The events of the war, however, can not be confined to such a small space. But one thing at a time:

In the 7th century, the Slavs advanced from the south into the Niedere and Hohe Tauern in search of more land to settle, and there arose a fierce struggle for power with the Bajuwarii who were pushing from Bo-hemia towards the south. To the old settlements of the Alpine Slavs such as Stranach, Göriach (“amongst the mountain dwellers”) or Begöriach, there were now added the names of Bavarian ones such as Oberbayr-dorf, Mörtelsdorf, Seitling, etc. Under the Slavic king Samo, who died in 658, these battles were said to have flared up especially intensely. The Bajuwarii duke Diet along with his wife Gleistrada, according to legend, died there on this bloody meadow in Bundschuh and their gravesite can be found at St. Michael’s parish church. So much blood shed in this beautiful alpine world surrounding the Anderleseen. Today, the area is a blessing for all those who consider the peace and quiet of nature a true gift.

By car you will take the main Bundschuh road (L 267) to the lift parking lot in Schönfeld at an elevation of 1,740 m, the start-ing point for this hike. Keeping to the right, you will hike over the Mattehanshöhe, along the ridge, and over the Zechnerhöhe, Gaipahöhe and Kameritzhöhe to the Anderleseen lakes at an elevation of 2,080 m.

2-lake hike in Göriachtal valley / 1-day tour

From Göriach to the Landawirsee Hut and to the upper and lower Landwiersee lakes

Starting point for this promising, scenic family tour is the village of Göriach with a population of 400, around 6 km from Tamsweg. Hikers follow – either by car or foot – the road next to the Göriachbach which, after the last occupied houses, gives way to a forest road. There is par-king at the lower Piendlalm Hut and 3 km further along at the Almdörfl. Nine farmers from Göriach each have their own alpine hut in this idyllic hut village, which can be rented or leased, or which, as is the case with the Hansal Hut or the Neumann Hut, invite you to stop in for refresh-ments.

Scenic valley headThe path leads gently uphill between the huts and follows the course

of the Göriachbach. It effortlessly continues uphill and, after a few sharp turns, reveals to the hiker the spectacular crown of mountains surroun-ding the valley head: the northwest ridge of the 2,863 m-high Hoch-golling drops off to the left to the Gollingscharte, and at the foot of the mighty Zwerfenberg, the path to the left leading to the Landawirsee Hut is clearly recognizable. High to the left, hikers are greeted by the sight of the Rotsandspitze and Hoher Wagen.

2 idyllic mountain lakesA little beyond the Zugriegel Huts, you will reach the Landawirsee Hut

(elev. 1,985 m), a hut belonging to the Lungau Chapter of the Austrian Alpine Association. When they are open during the summer months, the hut offers hikers meals and overnight accommodations. Don’t forget to get your hiking logbook stamped! From the romantically situated hut, a trail leads southwest to the lower Landwiersee lake, and to the upper Landwiersee lake (elev. 2,047 m), which can be reached in around 20 min. The trail leads along the same path back to the starting point.

5-lake tour in the Niedere Tauern / 2-day tour

Obertauern – Twenger Almsee lake – Wirpitschsee lake – Grangler Hut – Ober Hut – Obertauern

Day 1:From Mauterndorf by car or bus in the direction of Obertauern.

Around 7 km after the town of Tweng, you will find “Haus Schaidberg” on the right side of the street, the starting point for this splendid 2-day tour. From here, the hiking trail leads via a small bridge on a forest road, steep in parts, to the Ernst Hut (not staffed) at an elevation of 1,869 m. After this, the trail continues on level ground for the time being, yet soon after, the trail steepens and leads up to the Twenger Almsee lake. The climb to the Gollitsch-Scharte (elev. ca. 2,200 m) begins on the right shore. Hiking up this trail, we reach the highest point of the day after ca. 2 hrs. The descent to Weisspriachtal valley first drops steeply to Up-per Schönalmsee lake and then continues to Lower Schönalmsee lake. Particularly impressive is the wonderful pine forest amid the boulders to the left. The fourth mountain lake of the day is the Wirpitschsee lake with the nearby Tonimörtl Hut at an elevation of 1,699 m. After a snack to recharge your batteries, Tiefenbachsee lake entices you to take a detour (about an extra 30 min.). The descent to the valley can be undertaken either along a forest road or a well-marked hiking trail. After 15 min. hi-kers reach tonight’s lodgings, the Grangler Hut. At this certified Summer in the Hills hut (elev. 1,295 m), hikers are treated to exquisite Lungau specialties such as roast pork, Kasnock’n, or Rahmkoch.

Day 2:From the Grangler Hut, after a hearty alpine breakfast, we make our

way in leisurely fashion via a forest road through the Lantschfeldtal to the last alpine huts. At the chapel, we make a right on trail No. 770, and continue uphill to the Oberhüttensattel (1,866 m). After around 2 hrs. of walking, we will reach Oberhüttensee lake and the nearby hut. After refreshments, the trail takes us on Tauernhöhenweg No. 702 in the di-rection of Obertauern. In the wonderful combe, hikers should defi nitely keep their eyes and ears open: marmots can be observed up close, even without binoculars! From here, the trail climbs steeply to the Klamm-scharte at an elevation of 2,100 m. The highest point of the day is rea-ched in about an hour’s walk. Now we continue for about thirty minutes, with no signifi cant climbs, to the Seekarscharte, which also offers am-bitious mountaineers the opportunity to take trail no. 6 past both the Rosskogel (2,254 m) and the Hundskogel (2,239 m). Otherwise, our trail leads from the Seekarscharte down to the grounds of Hotel Seekarhaus and on to the paved road, then past Hundsfeldsee lake to Obertauern to the bus stop. Once there, we make our way back to the Schaidberg parking lot.

Time-on-trail: 4.5 to 5 hrs.Elevation change: 800 mTrail conditions: forest road and trailDifficulty level: • easyRefreshments: Grangler Hut and Ober Hut

This tour can also be hiked in reverse direction.

Alternative for day 2 or as an additional tour:From the Grangler Hut, we make our way to the Oberhüttensattel as

described above. From there we go right on Tauernhöhenweg No. 702, taking us up a number of steep sections to the Akarscharte (elev. 2,315 m), which we reach in about 1.5 hrs. Here, one path leads off to the right, coming in about half an hour to the Lungauer Kalkspitze (elev. 2,471 m, easy variant), while another makes a left towards the Steirische Kalk-spitze (elev. 2,459 m). Important: surefootedness and mountaineering experience are an absolute must!

From the alpine gap, the trail leads down to the Znachsattel (2,059 m) and eventually to Giglachsee lake and the hut of the same name. The return path leads from the Znachsattel out of the valley to the Untere Greinmeister Hut and the Grangler Hut.

Muhr – Stickler Hut – Riedingscharte – Königalm Hut – Haselloch – Franz-Fischer-Hut – Jakoberalm Hut – Rothenwändersee lake –

Grosskessel – Zederhaus

Day 1:The starting point of this 3-day tour is the unstaffed Arsen Hut (elev.

1,341 m) in the Hintermuhr section of Muhr. During the summer holidays a busservice is offered to the Hintermuhr. From here, we travel ca. 4 km by car or valley bus on the toll road (have € 5 in coins ready) to the Muritzen parking lot (1,520 m). We now begin a one-hour walk past a chapel and alpine huts to the staffed Stickler Hut (1,752 m). In front of the hut, trail No. 740 leads off to the right and up to the Riedingscharte (2,274 m), which can be reached in an additional hour and a half. For experienced hikers, there is also the opportunity to scale the Weisseck (2,711 m) in 1 1⁄4 hrs. But for everyone else, the path leads from the Riedingscharte on fl at trail No. 711, accompanied by magnifi cent views, to Riedingsee lake and the Boarnlacke (2,215 m). The occasionally steep descent ends at the Summer in the Hills Hut - Zauner Hut. From here it’s only 10 more min. by foot to our overnight lodgings, the rustic Summer in the Hills hut on the Königalm Hut (elev. 1,667 m). With homemade pressed cheese dumplings and wholegrain cheese noodles, you can re-charge your batteries for the upcoming day.

Day 2:After spending a peaceful night, we set out from behind the Königalm

on a climb straight up to the Haselloch. Path No. 702 leads, first steeply, then climbing more gently, in ca. 1.5 hrs. to the pond (elev. 2,135 m). The following hike up to the Bärenlacke (elev. 2,020 m), the highest point of the day’s tour, leads us past Allermannsharnisch, a rare garlic plant, which you can already smell from quite a distance. Across a carpet of fl owers, just past the nearby Hoislsee lake (2,040 m) and again slightly ascending to the Ilgsee lake (2,097 m) where the trail leads directly on the shores of the lake to the Zaunersee lake to the Franz-Fischer Hut (2,018 m) in a hike taking around 2.5 hours. Now, it’s only 2 more hrs. to the Jakoberalm (elev. 1,839 m), where we will settle in to our accom-modations for the night: the path there leads past the Esser lakes and through an area of larch trees. The mighty Mosermandl (elev. 2,680 m) constantly watches over you.

Day 3:The last leg of this 3-day tour leads from the Jakoberalm (1,839 m) on

path no. 702 in about an hour to Rothenwändersee lake (elev. 2,010 m). Here hikers enjoy a gorgeous and impressive mountain panorama. From the lake, we first hike gently downhill along a trail, then on a gravel road, coming in ca. 1.5 hrs. to the Grosskessel area and the idyllic Summer in the Hills hut, the Muhreralm (1,642 m), where a brief stop for Maria’s de-licious refreshments is an absolute must. After an additional 45 min. we reach the toll booth and also the stop for the post bus, which will bring us back to our starting point.

㆒ Gruberalm (elev. 1,514 m)

Riedingtal Nature Park, Zederhaus

Hut Highlights – “Wooden Tools & Toys”

An old pitchfork tells of the former days of hay-making here in the hill country. Every bushel of hay was valuable, essential to getting the dairy cows through the winter, while the wooden tools the farmers needed were manufactured right there on the farm. Machln is what they call it in the Lungau dialect, while the workshop is known as a Zeferhittn. Great maple, birch and spruce trees produce a lightweight wood and were therefore used to make rakes, pitchforks and other tools. If a more durable wood was needed, farmers turned to ash or barberry. Gischgalatznhoiz is what the Lungau locals called the latter. From its red berries, incidentally, you can make a delicious and healthy juice. At the Gruberalm, your hosts still nurture ages-old insights into finding the right wood for the right job.

Alpine Flavor – Gruberalm Homemade ingredients from an organic farm in our meals and snacks.

Home-baked bread with bacon and Tyrolean gray cheese to invigorate hikers. If you have an appetite for a warm meal, order ahead for some tasty “Hasenöhrl” (unsweetened pastry) with sauerkraut.

How to reach usAs a starting point for our hike, we would recommend the car park

located near the south entrance to the Tauern Tunnel (elev. 1,345 m). The hiking path will take us on a walk lasting about 1.5 hours to the Gruberalm (elev. 1,514 m). For an alternative, take a ride on the bus or drive your own car (toll road/€ 8 fee, incl. valley bus during the main vacation season) to the Schliereralm (elev. 1,495 m). From there continue on foot along the shores of the Schlierersee and the banks of a stream, or ride the valley bus to the Gruberalm. The walk from the Schliereralm to the Gruberalm takes about 30 minutes.

㆓ Hoislalm (elev. 1,556 m)

Riedingtal Nature Park, Zederhaus

Hut Highlights - “Hill farming past and present”

At the newly renovated Hoislalm you can experience and discover life on the farm. Old and young visitors alike are given interesting insights into modern hill farming. With advance notice, your farming hosts will be glad to show you the basics of farm work, including milking as well as how to make butter and cheese. “Hoisl Peter” once did all the milking by hand at the Hoislalm. But today, you can watch the cows standing there patiently in a modern milking “parlor”, as you breathe in the healthful mountain air, watch the pigs being their usual lazy selves and the cows grazing, or simply take delight in listening to the rush of the mountain stream… If you are in the mood for some healthy Kneipp therapy, step into the fresh mountain waters of the Riedingbach right next to the hut. Awaiting the children is a great adventure playground as well as a stable with farm animals that just love to be petted.

Alpine Flavor – Hoislalm A particular specialty of the Hoislalm are meat pockets right out

of the hot pan which are then prepared and served for guests of the 2 hill-country festivals. All ingredients used in our delectable alpine snacks are produced here at the Hoislalm. The hill farmers invite you for refreshments, to refuel with farm-fresh organic products, enjoy the beautiful view, or simply to take a break and rest.

We are also happy to host special events at our mountain hut.

Open to the Public: June until mid SeptemberOvernight Accommodations: yesContact: Schlick Family, Hoislbauer farmTelephone: +43 (0)650 3411931E-mail: [email protected]

How to reach usAs a starting point, we recommend the parking area at the south

entrance to the Tauern tunnel (elev. 1,345 m) – from there it takes about 2.5 hrs. to reach the Hoislalm. It’s also possible to travel by car to the parking area for the Nature Park Info Center (toll road/€ 8 fee, incl. valley bus during the main vacation season) – also the starting point of the Almenwanderweg trail. By taking this idyllic trail you will reach the Hoislalm in an hour. Hikes during the main holiday season can also incorporate a ride on the valley bus.

叅 Jakoberalm (elev. 1,839 m)

Riedingtal Nature Park, Zederhaus

Hut Highlights – “Kneipp Therapy in a Mountain Tarn”

The Jakoberalm lies just below the Mosermandl amid magnificent Alpine pastures. From here, you can set out on hikes that vary in length and difficulty. In addition to that, you might be tempted to enjoy a spot of Kneipp therapy in the fresh mountain water – which will do wonders for your toes, soles, heels, calf muscles, knees and arms.

The lovingly run Jakoberalm definitely evokes the phrase “back to your roots”. No matter whether your visit is a timeout from the stresses of daily life, or a pleasant refreshment opportunity after your hike. When it comes to satisfying the guests’ hearty appetites, our first step is always to heat up the wood-burning stove before preparing the delectable selection of specialties.

Alpine Flavor – Jakoberalm At the Jakoberalm, we are dedicated to using regional products

and supporting our local farmers. From farmhouse bread, traditional Bretteljause snack platters, cheese dumplings and Rahmkoch, to a variety of juices including elder, lemon balm and our very popular pine juice, everything is carefully prepared by hand. As a special treat, we offer our guests marvelous Lungau milk that never comes out of the carton, but instead is “freshly tapped” every day at our own farm.

How to reach usFrom Zederhaus take the toll road (€ 8 fee, incl. valley bus during the

main vacation season) towards Riedingtal (about 9 km) until you get to the Jakoberalm car park (ca. 0.5 km prior to the Schliereralm). From this point, a supply road and a marked hiking path lead to the Jakoberalm (elev. 1,839 m). We highly recommend hiking to the Esser See (see page 5) or the Rothenwändersee (see page 7).

㆕ Königalm (elev. 1,667 m) Riedingtal Nature Park, Zederhaus

Hut Highlights – “Zwergerlteich and Waterwheel”

We are only a leisurely one-hour hike from the Nature Park House or a short ride on the valley bus from the Königalm. Anyone who makes a refreshment stop here is certain to enjoy the setting with every fiber of their being – the tranquility, the pristine scenery, and, of course, the mouthwatering country cooking. Ducks waddle and splash about in the Zwergerlteich next to the terrace, while sheep and lambs graze nearby – an alpine paradise for children of all ages. After all, here they can play to their hearts’ content, gaze at the waterwheel and pet the lambs.

Alpine Flavor – KönigalmAt the Königalm, the owner cooks for you personally throughout

the day. Hikers can count on hot meals served from opening to closing time. The Königalm serves hearty dishes based on regional recipes, specialties of the hill country and homemade ingredients, including bacon and cheese. The fried bacon dumplings with sauerkraut are delicious, a famous specialty of the Königalm. Mmmh, they simply taste divine!

Open to the Public: beginning of June until mid OctoberOvernight Accommodations: yesContact: Robert Batlogg FamilyTelephone: +43 (0)664 2523297E-mail: [email protected]

How to reach us As a starting point for a hike, we would recommend the car park

located near the south entrance to the Tauern Tunnel (elev. 1,345 m). Following the hiking path we will reach the Königalm after about a 2.5-hour walk. For an alternative, take a ride on the bus or drive your own car (toll road/€ 8 fee, incl. valley bus during the main vacation season) to the Schliereralm. From there continue on foot via the Almenwanderweg path or ride the valley bus to the Königalm. The walk from the Schliereralm to the Königalm takes about 1.25 hours. We also recommend taking a walk to the Boarnlacke (see page 9) or the Ilgsee – Zaunersee (see page 6).

⓹ Liasalm (elev. 1,812 m)

Karthäusen - Zederhaus

Hut experience: “Bringing in the hay, then and now”

A hike to the Liasalm is always worthwhile. Once at the hut, with its beautiful floral decorations, hikers can recover from the effort of the climb and enjoy the glorious views of the surrounding mountains. Your hosts will be happy to explain to you how the precious mountain hay used to be harvested using rather primitive equipment, later transported down to the valley in winter, often under very arduous conditions.

Alpine Flavor – Liasalm The milk from cows grazing on the nearby alpine pastures is all turned

into butter or cheese, either so-called “ grey cheese” or cream cheese. Hikers can also recharge their batteries with the help of delicious cheese-dumpling soup, fresh farmhouse doughnuts, or some Rahmkoch, along with a homemade juice of alpine herbs. Snacks, traditionally served on a wooden board, include bacon made from their own pork, venison sausage, a selection of cheeses, along with farmhouse bread lovingly baked right there at the farm. And for the perfect finish to your hearty meal: a shot of excellent pine schnapps.

Open to the Public: mid June until mid SeptemberOvernight Accommodations: noContact: Erich Gruber Family, Liasnbauer farmTelephone: +43 (0)664 2719830 or +43 (0)6478 243E-mail: [email protected]

How to reach usThe starting point for this hike is directly across from a small sawmill

in the center of Zederhaus – about 200 m from the church towards the mouth of the valley. Follow the signs taking you alongside the containment walls for the autobahn, then left along the supply lane until you reach the turn-off for the Karthäusenalmen. Continue on the old cart path, through high forest and alongside the Karthäusengraben, until you reach the Liasalm at 1,812 m above sea level. Alternatively, set out from Gasthof Jägerwirt: Follow the main road, about 50 m beyond the bridge at the Jägerwirt make a left in the direction of the Karthäusenalmen.

Making your way along a gravel lane as far as a gate, you will now come to access routes which will bring you up to the Liasalm: a supply lane as well as a marked hiking path, taking you on a walk to the Liasalm lasting about 2.5 hours.

⓺ Muhreralm (elev. 1,659 m) Grosskessel - Zederhaus

Hut Highlights – “Müchbitschn”

Farmers used to transport milk in wooden buckets, barrels or Bitschn from the hill farm down to the valley below. But most of the milk stayed right where it was produced, where the dairymaid turned it into a variety of cheeses and butter. Mechanization and the construction of access roads made it possible to transport the fresh milk and cream in wooden or aluminum containers to the farms and then on to local dairies. Thus it became possible to supply local communities with fresh, high-quality dairy products. At the Muhreralm, visitors can still view some of these original Müchbitschn, while the youngsters can also look forward to playing with a homemade toy car.

Alpine Flavor – MuhreralmEverything is home-produced – butter, freshly baked bread, cottage

cheese seasoned with herbs and cheese noodles.

How to reach usPrior to the toll station for Riedingtal Nature Park in Zederhaus, the

forestry road branches off towards Grosskessel, where marked path no. 741 begins. This path now takes us to the Muhreralm (elev. 1,659 m) in about a 1-hour’s walk. We also recommend taking a hike to the Rothenwändersee (see page 7).

⓼ Schliereralm (elev. 1,495 m)

Riedingtal Nature Park, Zederhaus

Hut Highlights – “Butter- & Cheese-Making and a Petting Zoo”

The Schliereralm, located at the entrance to Riedingtal Nature Park and declared “Alpine Summer Hut 2016”, is a marvelous oasis during any holiday spent here in the mountains. The views of the landscapes are beautiful and accompanied by mouth-watering treats from the kitchen. The hut which stands next-door, whose dark wood has absorbed the power of the sun for the last three centuries, is still used for butter- and cheese-making. Visitors are encouraged to watch and even to lend a hand. These products are also available for purchase. Awaiting children on the green shoreline of the Schlierersee is a petting zoo, along with play equipment and trees to climb in. Bleating pygmy goats and cackling bantam chickens roam the area in search of the best snacks. Guest may use the public, handicapped-accessible WC at the Schliereralm.

Alpine Flavor – SchliereralmNative trout teem in the clear mountain stream in front of the

Schliereralm. Once caught, fried up fresh and flavored with homemade butter, they are served with Lungau potatoes to make an exceptional meal. Other specialties include Lungau cheese-dumpling soup, wiener schnitzel fried in home-churned butter and, of course, an utterly delicious Kaiserschmarren dessert. Order ahead and you will even be able to look forward to “Hasenöhrl” (unsweetened pastry) with sauerkraut.

Open to the Public: mid May until October Overnight Accommodations: yesContact: Johann Dorfer Family, Schliererbauer farmTelephone: +43 (0)6478 484 or +43 (0)6478 453E-mail: [email protected]: www.schliereralm.at

How to reach usAs a starting point for a hike, we would recommend the car park located

near the south entrance to the Tauern Tunnel (elev. 1,345 m). Following the hiking path we will reach the Schliereralm (elev. 1,495 m) after about a 1-hour walk. For an alternative, take a ride on the bus or drive your own car (toll road/€ 8 fee, incl. bus during the main vacation season) to the Schliereralm (elev. 1,495 m). We recommend taking a hike to the Upper Riedingtal or circumnavigating the Schlierersee (see page 8).

2-lake hike in Göriachtal valley 5-lake tour in the Niedere Tauern 6-lake tour from Muhr to Riedingtal valley

柒 Örgenhiasalm (elev. 1,710 m)

Riedingtal Nature Park, Zederhaus

Hut Highlights in the „Talschlusskessel”

The Örgenhiasalm lies far removed from the noisy hustle & bustle of stressful daily life, at the idyllic valley head in Riedingtal. Awaiting you here are boundless tranquility, unique and pristine nature, as well as beautiful hiking opportunities guaranteeing you hours of pure rejuvenation. The rustic mountain hut, which has stood for generations, is an ideal destination for your hiking- or biking tour.

Alpine Flavor – ÖrgenhiasalmAllow your hut host to treat you to local food & drinks in a friendly

atmosphere. All of the products are 100% organic, from their own farm, and prepared with love. Aside from classic “Brettljause” snacks, they also offer platters with a selection of delicious homemade cheeses. Butter, buttermilk and cheeses are produced on-site every day from milk produced by cows that graze nearby. And you should absolutely try the freshly made farmhouse-style doughnuts, along with typical Lungau “Rahmkoch”.

Open to the Public: June to September Overnight Accommodations: yesContact: Karl Schiefer Family, Örgenhias farmTelephone: +43 (0)6477 7294 or +43 (0)664 4593392Internet: www.oergenhias-alm.at

How to reach usAs a starting point for a hike, we would recommend the car park

located near the south entrance to the Tauern Tunnel (elev. 1,345 m). Following the hiking path we will reach the Örgenhiasalm (elev. 1,710 m) after about a 3-hour walk. For an alternative, take a ride on the bus or drive your own car (toll road/€ 8 fee, incl. bus during the main vacation season) to the Schliereralm (elev. 1,495 m). From there continue on foot via the Almenwanderweg path or ride the valley bus to the Königalm, after which you will make your way up to the Örgenhiasalm (about a 30-minute walk). Time on trail from the Schliereralm to the Örgenhiasalm is about 2 hours.

Elevation Change: ca. 370 mDifficulty: • easyTime on Trail: ca. 0.5 to 3 hours (depending on tour variant)Bus Service: No. 700/710 to Zederhaus – Wald – Schliereralm – Königalm Parking: near the Tauern Tunnel (south entrance), Schliereralm

⓽ Schwarzenbichl Hut (elev. 1,375 m) Riedingtal Nature Park, Zederhaus

Hut Highlights – “Butter- & Cheese-Making”

Riakiwei is the name given in the Lungau to a container used to churn cream, with the aid of a crank and wooden handles, into butter and buttermilk. Children were often assigned to this rather tedious and tiring task, but their efforts were well rewarded when it was time for a tasty sandwich accompanied by a cup of fresh buttermilk. Many hill farms occasionally took advantage of nearby streams, using the force of the water to drive the Riakiwei. At the Schwarzenbichl Hut, there is so much “churning” every day – in the cheese vat or in the butter tub. All of the milk is processed every morning into various types of cheeses, yogurt, cottage cheese or even butter. You can observe this daily work of the hill farmers at the cheese dairy - where delicious, genuine and natural hill farm products are made (advance notice required).

Alpine Flavor – Schwarzenbichl Hut The whey drinks and homemade fruit juices produced by the family

of Andreas Pritz and Gabi Löcker couldn’t be any healthier and they are definitely the best thirst-quenchers imaginable. We also recommend sampling the various homemade cheeses, along with hill-country butter and hearty, freshly baked bread. We promise, you have never tasted anything more delicious in your life!

Open to the Public: end of June until the beginning of SeptemberOvernight Accommodations: yesContact: Pritz/Löcker Family, Trimminger farm Telephone: +43 (0)650 2499223 or +43 (0)650 5585054 (hut)E-mail: [email protected]: www.tiscover.at/schwarzenbichlalm

How to reach usThe Schwarzenbichl Hut (elev. 1,375 m) is about 4.5 km from

Zederhaus as you make your way into the valley and towards Riedingtal Nature Park (ca. 300 m prior to the Riedingtal toll station). Parking is available right next to the hut, as well as on the car park near the south entrance of the Tauern Tunnel (elev. 1,345 m), about a 5 to 10-minute walk from the hut.

⓾ Zauner Hut (elev. 1,733 m)

Riedingtal Nature Park, Zederhaus

Hut Highlights – “Copper Kettle over the Farmhouse Fire”

Copper cooking utensils give foods a more refined flavor than do iron and steel. A large copper pot is thus the pride of every dairymaid. At the Zauner Hut, it hangs above a brick fireplace. It is filled with skimmed milk, since the cream is destined to be turned into butter, which then quietly simmers away over a low heat. The milk baht … the dialect term describing the clotting process of milk as it turns into a curd cheese. The Zauneralm continues to make use of generations-old herbal recipes to make their cheese.

Alpine Flavor – Zauner HutHenasteign, essentially a hot, deep-fried cake, is a Lungau specialty,

traditionally enjoyed as a delicious, meatless summertime treat. It is accompanied, of course, by any one of a number of mixed milk drinks from the “Milk Bar” or simply pure, fresh milk from the farm’s very own cows. For tired, downtrodden feet, whey footbaths are soothing and use the homemade herbal ointment for your cuts, bumps and bruises.

Open to the Public: June to SeptemberOvernight Accommodations: yesContact: Kremser Family, Zaunerbauer farmTelephone: +43 (0)650 3870063 or +43 (0)6478 378E-mail: [email protected]: www.zauneralm.at.tf

How to reach usAs a starting point for a hike, we would recommend the car park

located near the south entrance to the Tauern Tunnel (elev. 1,345 m). Following the hiking path we will reach the Zauner Hut (elev. 1,733 m) after about a 2.75-hour walk. For an alternative, take a ride on the valley bus or drive your own car (toll road/€ 8 fee, incl. bus during the main vacation season) to the Schliereralm (elev. 1,495 m). From there continue on foot via the Almenwanderweg path, or ride the bus to the Königalm, after which you will make your way up to the Zauner Hut (about a 15-minute walk). Time on trail from the Schliereralm to the Zauner Hut is about 1.75 hours. We also recommend hiking to the Boarnlacke (see page 4).

⓫ Grangler Hut (elev. 1,320 m) Weisspriach Valley

Hut Highlights – “Herb Garden in a Cot”

It took a lot of effort and not a little sweat to turn the former Palffy Alm into the Grangler Hut we know today. But the Bergmann Family never gave up, finally creating their own little piece of paradise amid these lush alpine pastures. The Longa flows languidly by, nestled amid the glorious natural setting of the Weisspriach Valley. Their humorous emblem: an antique, 70-year-old wooden child’s bed, standing at the entrance to the hut. The children who once slept in it have long since grown up, so now the bed frame serves as a garden spot for fresh herbs used in the kitchen. Of course, they continue to invest an abundance of love in the place, say the owners. Even a playground for kids can be found at the Grangler Hut.

Alpine Flavor – Grangler Hut Hiking always results in a hearty appetite, as we well know. At the

Grangler Hut, you will be greeted by hearty, healthy traditional dishes. The specialty is their Blood-Sausage Griddle featuring homemade blood sausage, caramelized onions and Lungau potatoes. Your taste buds are in for a delicious regional treat if you try the Farmhouse Stew, which includes roasted potatoes, bacon, vegetables and eggs.

Open to the Public: mid May until the end of OctoberOvernight Accommodations: yesContact: Bergmann FamilyTelephone: +43 (0)664 6353715 or +43 (0)6473 7310E-mail: [email protected]: www.hausbergmann.at

⓬ Toni Mörtl Hut (elev. 1,700 m) Weisspriach Valley

Hut Highlights – “Butter from a decorative mold”

True to Alpine tradition, flavorful butter is pressed into a decorative wooden mold known as a Buttermodel. Carved into these molds are an array of plant motifs and symbols of blessing, which are then transferred to the butter itself. In the old days, the dairymaids would gather to compare and admire the beautifully decorated slabs of butter. Nowadays, these molds enjoy a place of honor in every hut. At the Toni Mörtl Hut, for instance, your hosts have managed to preserve a number of exceptionally beautiful examples. They are always quite happy to share details of the origins of themolds and how they are used. Fluffy Kaiserschmarren pancakes are a classic you simply have to taste

Alpine Flavor – Toni Mörtl Hut Among the special treats at the Toni Mörtl Hut are Lungau “Rahmkoch”

dessert, farmhouse donuts, cheese dumpling soup, a hearty country platter with meats and cheeses, pine schnapps and cheese strudel – with all of the ingredients produced right there on their own farm.

The hike takes us along gravel path no. 770, past the Grangler Hut to the trail fork at the „Uln Hut“ (a stop for the valley bus). We now continue on behind the hut to the left, passing a thunderous waterfall and crossing the Longa. After ca. 200 m, a marked hiking trail leads off to the left to the Toni Mörtl Hut (serving refreshments), located very close to the Wirpitschsee (see pages 16 and 17). We recommend taking a hike to the Upper Schönalmsee (see page 14).

⓭ Grainmeister Hut (elev. 1.320 m) Weisspriach Valley

Hut Highlights Grainmeister Hut

The Grainmeisterhütte we know today was actually built after the original hut had been moved to the Open-Air Museum in Grossgmain. The Pinzgau cattle that graze next to the Grainmeisterhütte are milked using hydro power. The hut lies in an alpine cirque, the starting point for wonderful hikes, including to the Zinkwand, Znachsattel, Lungauer Kalkspitze, Steirische Kalkspitze, Giglachseen.

With your hike under your belt, you will be able to return to a glass of fresh buttermilk, hearty snacks, or perhaps freshly made “Topfengolatschen”, then enjoy the panoramas before heading for home.

Alpine Flavor – Grainmeister HutSpecial highlights at the Grainmeisterhütte include homemade bread

with fresh butter and cheese, Brettljause platters filled with their own products, and served with that fresh buttermilk. For those guests with a sweet tooth, your host is happy to serve up Rahmkoch or homemade Topfengolatschen.

⓮ Hansal Hut (elev. 1,420 m) Göriach Valley

Hut Highlights – “Alpine world plucked from the pages of a picture book”

The Göriach Hut Village, which is set against the picturesque mountain back-drop of the Schladminger Tauern, is truly a vision from a fairytale. The rustic huts in this little village are close together - like plucked from the pages of a picture book. Hill-farming has always played a valuable role here, with many of the old tools (butter churn, butter molds, etc.) and techniques preserved to this day.

Alpine Flavor – Hansal Hut Of course, there are plenty of tasty things to eat at the Hansal Hut,

including their specialty “Kaiserschmarrn”, fluffy sugared pancakes with raisins made to mother’s recipe. They have never tasted as good as they do right here – and best of all: the ingredients come from our own organic farm!

Open to the Public: June until 10. of October Overnight Accommodations: noContact: Wirnsperger FamilyTelephone: +43 (0)664 1130080E-mail: [email protected]: www.hansalgut.com

How to reach usTaking either the bus or your own car, we travel from Hintergöriach

and into the valley for about 8 km, until we come to the turning place outside the Göriach Hut Village. This is a unique alpine village (9 huts in total, 1 of which serves refreshments), also easy for seniors and parents pushing a pram to reach. From the last car park, it is only a few minutes’ walk to the Hansal Hut (elev. 1,420 m), which is, in turn, a great starting point for a hike to the Landwierseen lakes (see page 19).

⓯ Lasshoferalm (elev. 1,270 m)

Lessach Valley

Hut Highlights “The world’s biggest Edelweiss”

In June 2016, what is presumably the world’s biggest metal “Edelweiss” was erected at the Lass-hoferalm. It is 8.25 m high, 4.20 m in diameter, and has a total weight of around 800 kg. The “Edelweiss” is probably the strongest symbol of the Alps and will adorn the “Lasshoferalm” in the summer an the “Edelweißalm” at the Fanningberg in the winter.

Alpine Flavor – Lasshoferalm The Lungau is famous for soil in which mushrooms thrive. The

porcini and chanterelle mushrooms that go into the soup pot at the Lasshoferalm, of course, are all picked locally.

For hungry guests, this hut serves bratwurst, delicious cheeses, a Gröstl hash, plus a farmhouse roast at the weekend. Accompanied, of course, by home-distilled rowanberry schnapps to aid with digestion.

Open to the Public: May and October from Friday to Sunday, daily in June, July, August and September. Overnight Accommodations: noContact: Mr. Otto NeumannTelephone: +43 (0)664 1419820E-Mail: [email protected]: www.lasshoferalm.at

How to reach usDrive from Tamsweg in the direction of the Upper Lessachtal. After

you have paid the toll charges (€ 5), it will be possible for you to drive all the way to the Lasshoferalm (elev. 1,270 m). The starting point for a hike is the car park just prior to the toll station, from which it is about a 1.5-hour walk along a forestry road, past the Lenznalm (elev. 1,253 m) to the Lasshoferalm. The Lasshoferalm is an ideal starting point for a hike to the Gralatisee, the Landschitzseen lakes and the Zwerfenberg- and Angersee lakes (see pages 20, 21 and 22). Along the Lasshofer hiking path, which leads out towards the lower Landschitzsee, in about 30 minutes you will reach a beautiful waterfall, providing invigoration for all your senses.

Elevation Change: ca. 100 mDifficulty: • easyTime on Trail: ca. 2 hours Parking: just before the toll station in the Upper Lessachtal

⓰ Wildbach Hut (elev. 1,806 m) Lessach Valley

Hut Highlights – “A hike for the senses”

A hike to the Wildbach Hut is exciting for kids and adults. Fascinating forest trails lead to this beautiful lookout point, while the children will discover the great wooden play equip-ment on the playground. Earlier the alpine meadows were mowed far up into the mountains. The wooden wagon at the entrance to the hut reminds of us this, with its floral decorations now a true feast for the eyes.

Alpine Flavor – Wildbach Hut The homemade sausage served at the Wildbach Hut is the crowning

element of their country platters. You only get a hearty taste like that when you make it yourself! Their cured beef is also quite a treat in its own right. So, our advice? Try them both!

Open to the Public: end of June until beginning of October Overnight Accommodations: yesContact: Kocher FamilyTelephone: +43 (0)664 4107513E-mail: [email protected]: www.wildbachhuette.com

How to reach usFrom Tamsweg we drive by car in the direction of Lessach. About 400

meters prior to the parish church on the left (sign for the Wildbach Hut), the road takes us uphill to the right to the „Wildbach Hut“ car park at the Purggergut. From there we enjoy a relaxing 1.5-hour walk along the Family Path out to the Wildbach Hut (elev. 1,806 m).

Theme trail „Weg der Stille“ (Trail of Tranquillity) at Wiesberg in LessachStarting from the ‘Wildbachhütte’ car park, this trail leads you past

the highest farm ‘Purggergut’ through meadows and forest, with small inspiring resting spots along the way, via the Granglitzalmen (optional) to the Wildbachhütte. The “Weg der Stille” invites you to free yourself of worry and anxiety and find inner peace, relaxation and sanctuary ….

Duration: 2 hours including the Granglitzalmen, 1.5 hours without. Return is via the same route or via the ‘Familien-Erlebniswanderweg’ (45 min.)

⓱ Dorfer Hut (elev. 1,655 m)

Seetal - Tamsweg

Nature Experience on the Gstoder

Clearly marked hiking paths lead through magical forests to the Dorferhütte at the foot of the Gstoder, part of the village of Tamsweg. After a break for welcome refreshments, hikers may well wish to continue to the top of the Gstoder, one of the most beautiful lookout mountains in the region, its summit stan- ding 2,140 m above sea level. In good visibility, you can gaze out from the Lungau basin, flanked by the Lungau mountains, all the way to the valleys of Styria and to the Karawanken in the south. Brochures and other reading materials provide visitors with fascinating insights into the region, hill farming and forestry.

Alpine Flavor – Dorfer Hut They only offer foods which have been produced or processed at

the farm or at the Dorferhütte. Guests truly appreciate the fresh milk, butter, buttermilk, cheese, bacon and ham from home-raised organic pork, cheese-dumpling soup and, above all, the home-baked and absolutely incomparable farmhouse bread. The finishing touches to the menu selection include Lungauer Rahmkoch and “fried mice” (a classic dessert).

⓳ Branntweiner Hut (elev. 1,778 m) Aineck - St. Margarethen

Hut Experiences: “Herbs unite with Alpine cooking“

Welcome to the Brannt- weineralm TEH Hut! A co-operation between Traditional European Healing Association Unken and Branntweiner Organic Farm, which has been run by generations of the same family. 100% authentic - 100% enjoyment. Regionality, hill farm and “ancient healing wisdom” all in one. 60 head of cattle, horses, pigs..., including 25 dairy cows supplying the farm with fresh milk every day. The resulting products, such as cheese, yogurt, whey, butter etc. are served to guests by Sabine, also a TEH practitioner. Here, everything revolves around the herbs that grow on the alpine meadows around the hut, essential ingredients in their homemade products. These include juices, liqueurs, foods, ointments, soaps, teas and much more. After an enjoyable hike to the Branntweinerhütte, you can look over Sabine’s shoulder as she goes about producing her herbal products.

Alpine Flavor – Branntweiner Hut Mmmhhh – doughnuts are so delicious and always in season! Especially

at the Branntweiner Hut, where they have a very special variant of their own – “Drunken Doughnuts” the way grandpa used to make them! Not quite appropriate for children, this doughnut is made from a somewhat firmer dough than usual, and fried in clarified butter. Bon appétit – and cheers!

⓴ Kösslbacheralm (elev. 1,780 m)

Aineck - St. Margarethen

Hut Highlights – “Ziachschlitten and Radlbock”

In the car-less days of the past, travel was a long and tedious affair. It required skilled craftsmen and resourceful carpenters to design, carve and build an array of vehicles appropriate to the season and terrain. Sleighs were used to haul wood, hay and straw to the farms for the winter. Small wooden wagons, known as a Radlbock, transported supplies along cart paths up to alpine huts in summer. Sleighs and the occasional Radlbock can still be discovered every now and then even today, though generally having been re-purposed as a picturesque stand for colorful floral decorations.

Alpine Flavor – Kösslbacheralm The Aineck is a popular area for berry pickers. Buttermilk with

cowberries, as the residents of Lungau call the lingonberries, is a delicious specialty drink at the Kösslbacheralm. You can also enjoy fresh farmhouse donuts, blueberry pancakes, or cream cheese with alpine herbs.

㉒ Pritz Hut (elev. 1,800 m) Gontal Katschberg - Muhr

Hut Highlights – “Pony Express to the Ponyalm”

Here in the midst of the enchanting landscapes of the Gontal Valley, a small mountain streams babbles quietly along just across the way from the Pritz Hut. Rising from the flower-filled meadows are the healthful aromas of countless alpine herbs. A pool filled with cold fresh water invites you to treat your legs to traditional Kneipp therapy. Stepping barefoot into the clear mountain stream, and then allowing your feet to dry off in the sunshine, is probably the ultimate form of relaxation. It tingles, gets the blood flowing and invigorates! The wellness method pioneered by Pastor Sebastian Kneipp (1821 – 1897) has proven itself a reliable means to toughen up the body, as well as to prevent, alleviate and even cure a variety of ailments. Kneippen is a true gift for body and soul. “Horse Taxis” carry visitors from the Katschberg into the Gontal Valley. The Pritz Hut also serves as the trailhead for an easy walk over the Gontalscharte or even a hike to the top of the Kareck. At an elevation of 2,481 m, this path to the summit does require good physical condition and stamina.

The “Ponyalm”: Around the Pritz Hut are various breeds of ponies and small animals. Pet them, make friends with them, enjoy them. A panoramic trail leads through this wonderful world of ponies, sure to get the youngsters’ pulses racing with excitement.

Alpine Flavor – Pritz HutAfter your Kneipp session and an invigorating hike, you will definitely

be ready to take a little rest and put something healthy in your stomach. The specialties of the Pritz Hut include pasta dishes with either cheese or meat.

㉓ Stöcklalm (elev. 1,755 m)

Gontal Katschberg - Muhr

Hut Highlights – “Splitting Wood”

The farmer’s doing well if he has enough wood in front of his hut. – That was once a popular saying here in the Lungau. Wood stacked in front of the hut, seasoned under the sun, promises a good life and the coziness of a crackling fire in the hearth. Visitors to the Stöcklalm can learn how to split wood with an ax, as well as the fine art of stacking wood the correct way. And you are always welcome to lend a hand! Your hosts will tell you what else can be done with the wood, and what aspects of their daily lives are actually dependent on that wood.

Alpine Flavor – Stöcklalm Carefully selected and precisely counted, the wood is also used to fire

the oven for bread-baking. The folks at the Stöcklalm are very precise in their methods, since a hearty, delicious home-baked bread requires wood that has been carefully selected and cut just the right way. Their home-baked bread, served with a variety of cheeses, is a specialty of the Stöcklalm.

Open to the Public: mid June until mid SeptemberOvernight Accommodations: noContact: Sampl FamilyTelephone: +43 (0)664 1128544 (Mr. Johann Sampl) or +43 (0)664 4968173 (Mrs. Juliane Sampl)

behind Alpengasthof Bacher (on the Katschberg). We first take a flat cart path to the Pritz Hut. From there, initially a gently climb, followed by a downhill to the Doktoralm. Afterwards, you can choose between a forestry path and a hiking trail. The hiking trail passes the Wengeralm, at which point it becomes a little rocky, making surefootedness a must. The forestry path first climbs gently, then takes you downhill for a while, until you come to a turn-off with a sign for the Stöcklalm in about 15 minutes. It isn’t far from here. The walking time out to the Stöcklalm is ca. 2.5 hours. A hike to the Stöcklalm is also possible from the “National Park Village” of Muhr. Actual walking time from the Schellgaden car park is 2 hours. This is also a popular mountain-bike route.

㉔ Twenger-Alm (elev. 1,900 m) Tweng - Obertauern

Hut Highlights – “A piece of heaven on earth”

At the point where you cross over from Obertauern into Weisspriachtal valley, an extended area of alpine pa-stures stretches out surroun-ded by wonderful mountain scenery. Legends recount the tale of dairymaids who once produced butter and cheese in abundance. The good life they had up there at their huts soon wasn’t enough to satisfy them, however, and so they indulged themselves in dances and festivities. But then, on one occasion, the devil himself mingled amongst them, capturing and imprisoning them in a cave high above Tweng, a place which has since been known as Satan’s Wall. The merry life once led by the dairy maids is long since past, though the art of making cheese is once again being venerated at the Twenger-Alm, a hill farm that is run according to traditions that are tried and true.

Alpine Flavor – Twenger-AlmHikers can stop here for a snack, sample the homemade cheese and

even take a look inside the cheesery itself. Your host, Wolfgang, is an expert on alpine herbs, the secrets of pine as well as dishes that feature wild game, and he is glad to share his knowledge with guests.

Open to the Public: mid June until mid September Overnight Accommodations: noContact: Kocher Family / Rigele Telephone: +43 (0)664 3696696E-mail: [email protected]: www.rigele-kocher.at

� Gamskogel Hut (elev. 1,830 m)

Katschberg

How to reach usThe starting point for this hike is a) the car park on Katschberg Pass (elev. 1,641 m). Taking the Gontalstrasse, we will hike through the Hotel Village and two road tunnels to Gasthof Bacher. About 200 m further along is b) another car park. From here we initially hike in the direction of the Pritz Hut. Half way there we find a gate, where a forestry path branches off to the left towards the Hanslbaueralm and Gontalscharte (elev. 1,911 m). From there we hike either a) to the Tschaneck (elev. 2,024 m), subsequently dropping back down to the Gamskogel Hut or b) continue at essentially the same elevation to the Gamskogel Hut (elev. 1,830 m). Another route to the Gamskogel Hut, where you will also find the highest registry office in Carinthia, is the 2.5 km long “Herzerlweg”, which is decorated with red hearts. Beginning at the Katschberg tourist office, you hike past Hotel Cristallo and take the path that climbs to the left rather than going through the tunnel and continue above the Landal hut village. A few hundred metres further along, hiking path no. 19 is clearly marked to your right (big gate). Staying on the Herzerlweg, you will come to Marienkapelle chapel and, shortly thereafter, to your destination, the Gamskogel Hut.

Theme & Nature Trails

The benefit of some inner-Alpine regions is that many ancient folk customs and deeply rooted popular beliefs have been preserved. Tho-se who wish to discover the Salzburger Lungau with all of their senses, may wish to set out on mystical hikes to mountain tarns and sources of immense natural & spiritual power, plus take advantage of the chance to visit the small pilgrimage chapel. Or reside in a “hut village”, where three different sources of energy guarantee moments of pure happiness.

You may, or may not believe in the energy emanated by certain loca-tions. Some sense it immediately, while others have their doubts. But the fact is, there are places that reenergize you, raise your spirits, or create a sense of inner calm. You also find such places of strength in the Lungau: Places, where you intensively sense nature in its various elements, are able to allow your eyes to roam across the mountains, or simply enjoy an escape from the daily routine. Small moments, with great effects.
