Moderately difficult hikes

Please note that the difficulty ratings may differ depending on the tour portal. The evaluation criteria of the tour portals usually refer to the distance/calculated walking time of the tour, the altitude difference and the technical difficulty based on the SAC hiking scale. Therefore, in addition to the tour data (e.g. length, altitude), please also give priority to the signposts in the terrain.

These refer to sections of the trail and, in contrast to the tour portals, are based on the following categories:

• Easy mountain trails (blue) are often narrow and can have steep passages; there is no danger of falling.
• Medium-difficulty trails (red) are narrow and usually steep. Short passages with a risk of falling or sections secured by wire ropes must be mastered.
• Difficult climbs (black) are narrow, steep, often exposed and there is a risk of falling. Wire rope secured passages and unsecured climbing sections must be mastered. Not suitable for dogs.

Your tour planning should be adapted to your physical condition, which is why we ask you to always take all factors into account and not to ignore the signs in the terrain!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tour to Halsalm

You start at the National Park info point Hintersee (Klausbachhaus). About 350 meters along the road behind the national park info point you will find a crossroads where you turn right onto the signposted hiking trail to Halsalm. A continuously ascending path leads you up to the alp. From the hut you continue on a narrow path across the alpine pasture, from which a magnificent view opens up over Hintersee and the Ramsau valley. Continue on hiking trail 63 in the direction of Ramsau to the Fernsebner parking lot. On a footpath along the road you finally get back to the starting point.

 

Tour to Wimbach Castle

You start at the National Park information point Wimbachbrücke. From the parking lot at the Wimbachbrücke, follow the signs in the direction of Wimbachschloss. Shortly after "Wimbachs Wollstadl" you will reach a junction where you turn left to the Wimbachklamm (subject to a fee!). Either go through the gorge, or keep to the right, following the now briefly very steep path further into the valley. After about 1 km the two paths meet again. With a very slight but steady incline, you follow the hiking trail (411, 421) to the Wimbachschloss. In the summer months, this is an ideal place to stop for refreshments. The way back is via the same route.

 

Tour to Bindalm

A few meters after the National Park information point, leave the asphalt road and follow trail 481 past the eagle observation point until you reach the crossroads at the Lahnwald service hut. Continue straight on, and also straight on at the next intersection. until you reach a slight incline. Just before the road, keep left and follow the path the last meters until you see the suspension bridge. Cross the bridge and follow the path until you reach the Engert National Park information point. From there, turn left again from the asphalt road onto the hiking trail - now over somewhat steeper sections - and continue to Bindalm. From there you have the option to continue hiking to the Austrian border crossing at the Hirschbichlpass or you can return to the starting point on the same path.
