Beskrivning av

The Radstädter Tauern Mountains have been one of the most important Alpine crossings in SalzburgerLand since pre-Christian times. Even the Romans used this route intensively, expanded it and maintained a post and horse changing station, a so-called "Mansio", at the top of the pass. Today's stage always leads from the World Cup Town of Zauchensee to the south and said Radstädter Tauern. Numerous managed alpine huts are located along the trail, which leads past sinkholes, wet meadows, through mountain pines and larches to the Gnadenalm, which was until the 17th century owned by the Salzburg Prince-Archbishops. Today, alpine huts invite you to stop for a bite to eat and a themed trail offers exciting insights into alpine life from then and now. A stop is worthwhile everywhere, especially to taste the famous "Radstädter Kas" (cheese), but make sure to be well rested! The ascent from the Gnadenalm to the Ennslehenhütte/Oberpleißlingalm and then the onward hike at almost the same altitude to the center of Obertauern at the end of the stage is once again challenging with around 500 meters of ascent.

Alpine Trail History

Again and again, hikers in the Alps come across mountain huts and refuges whose names have little to do with the environment in which they are located, such as the Südwiener hut or the Niedersachsenhaus in Gastein. Where this comes from is quickly explained. The respective names refer to the section affiliation of the huts. For example, the Niedersachsenhaus is a refuge of the Hanover section of the German Alpine Club. The Südwiener hut was opened in 1828 and is a refuge of the Vienna Alpine Club "Gebirgsverein". The huts refer back to the beginnings of “Alpinism”, when movement in nature became fashionable, especially among the urban population, and the Alps became a stated destination.

Along the trail

Sinkholes, wet meadows and mountain pines - all these alpine peculiarities are on the trail today. But what exactly is this? Sinkholes are so-called sink caves, which occur in Karst areas, which in turn are typical of the Northern Limestone Alps in which you are currently located. And sinkholes are not to be underestimated, so be sure to stay on the trail! Wet meadows, on the other hand, are habitats for special plants such as woolly grass or wet meadow orchids. In Pongau, mountain pines are the trees from which the highly effective mountain pine oil is also produced.

Alpine Trail Refreshment

The Tauernkarleitenalm is managed by dairyman Michael Haym and his wife Veronika. Here, they serve special alpine delicacies such as the famous "Radstädter Kas", a kind of sour cheese, homemade bread and much more.

Vägbeskrivning

After a hopefully wonderful night at over 1,350 metres above sea level, we continue on the Salzburger Almenweg towards the south and Radstädter Tauern. From Zauchensee, the unserviced Oberzauchenseealmen (1,556 m) can be reached in just over half an hour's walk via trail no. 85, which runs south along the valley floor. From here, the goods road (now with path no. 84) continues towards the head of the valley and after about 500 metres the footpath to the Stubhöhe (1,793 m) branches off to the left: Once there, several long-distance hiking trails such as the Arnoweg, the Harfeicht Tour or the Strimskogel circuit meet. The Almenweg leads over a larch meadow interspersed with mountain pines and limestone boulders to the left (to the east, path no. 84) down to the managed Tauernkarleitenalm (1,653 m), which is also a certified alpine summer hut. Here a fantastic panorama opens up to the southeast, which can be enjoyed with a little refreshment.

From here, the path leads downhill on a well-developed goods road to the Gnadenalm, which is reached after a good two and a half hours of walking time and is the lowest point of today's stage. Here you follow the goods road branching off to the right for a good 2 kilometres, which leads through the flat and wide valley basin to the south to the Hinterngadenalm. This alpine pasture does not only consist of an alpine hut, but offers several places to stop for refreshments, such as the Weißenhof Almhütte, the Gschwendthofhütte, Palfenhütte and Huberhütte. But beware: the tour is not over yet! Now it's uphill again: around 500 meters in altitude are covered to the Ennslehenhütte/Oberpleißlingalm. At the fork in the trail directly at the Hintergnadenalm, take the right-hand path (no. 28) and follow first a forest road and later a footpath to the managed Ennslehenhütte/Oberpleißlingalm (next to the former Südwienerhütte) at 1,802 meters above sea level. From here, take the Almenweg in an easterly direction to the Hirschwandsteig. From here, the trail continues at an altitude of between 1,650 and 1,750 meters with a magnificent panorama in the direction of Obertauern.

Shortly before the temporarily managed Felseralm (youth hostel), the Almenweg continues straight ahead at a fork in the road and above the Felseralm into flatter terrain through larch forests. In front of the Neuhofalm, which is not managed, the footpath joins a forest road, on which it continues straight ahead past the Tauernhof. At the next junction, continue straight ahead until a hiking trail branches off to the right, which you follow along the edge of the forest to the parking lot of the Grünwaldkopfbahn cable car and on to the valley station of the cable car and today's destination. From the Gründwaldkopfbahn valley station, there are various places to stop for refreshments and overnight accommodation within walking distance.
