The tour
Follow the marked summer path up to this small, charming cauldron. With a walking time of five hours this hike is a "gscheida Hadscha", BUT the long way is worth it in any case, because up here on the alpine pasture you can expect pure peace and idyll. An extensive rest with healthy mountain air strengthens you before you start your way back down into the valley.
Turn-by-turn directions
The tour starts at the chapel of Perweinhof and runs alternately on forest roads and forest paths. You can follow the marking of the summer hiking trail.
Getting there
Turn off the Ennstalbundesstraße (B320) at the crossing Trautenfels in direction Irdning, Donnersbach, Donnersbachwald. Through the village Donnersbach and another 10 km to Donnersbachwald. About 800 m after the tunnel turn left to Perweinhof.
Take the bus 941 to the stop "Perweinhof". Nearby is also the starting point of the hike.

Security
Before every snowshoe hike you should always check the current avalanche report - available at www.lawine-steiermark.at. Mountain sports and the assessment of the situation on site are - in winter all the more so - above all subject to personal responsibility. Tourism associations or avalanche warning services do not assume any liability based on information provided.   
  •  Do not go on snowshoe hikes alone. Together it is more fun anyway.   
  • Always be aware of risks and react to danger signs.  
  • Observe existing regulations such as hunting and game reserves, reforestation or young growth areas   
  • You should always have your cell phone well charged. Have you also saved the emergency number 140 of the mountain rescue service? If you have no reception, take out the SIM card and dial 112.
