Shortly after the start, you will reach the Capuchin monastery, which is over 400 years old. After a quiet rest in the church, you walk on to Altirdning. There you find the **Natur.Power.Place 'Heidenhügel"** and - hidden in the forest - the **Natur.Power.Place Heiligenbrunn** - a Celtic cult site with a chapel and fountain, from which healing spring water (especially for the eyes) flows in warmer seasons. You can find more information about this at [www.schladming-dachstein.at/naturkraftplaetze](https://www.schladming-dachstein.at/naturkraftplaetze) The tour easy publicly accessible Starting and end pointTourist office Tour characteristics Distance: 7.7 km InformationDistance: 7.7 km Duration: 2:30 h Ascent: 65 m Descent: 65 m highest point: 696 m Best seasonJan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec Map, elevation profile & further information -------------------------------------------------- - Tour description - Arrival & parking - Public transport - Equipment - Tips & links After the start, go uphill for a short distance, where you turn right at the intersection.

In shady areas, the ground can be slightly icy, and there may be avalanche danger below slopes. Mountaineering is therefore primarily a matter of personal responsibility – even more so in winter. Tourist associations and avalanche warning services assume no liability whatsoever based on the information provided. Your equipment should ideally include: - Ankle-high, warm shoes. Waterproof, warm shoes with a treaded sole are ideal. Optional: Gaiters for additional snow protection. - A hood and warm clothing, ideally layered. Don't forget a change of clothes for longer winter hikes: a wind and waterproof jacket and trousers. - A small backpack with a warm drink in a thermos and snacks as needed - Sun protection - Cell phone - First aid kit - Optional: crampons/snow spikes (snow chains for shoes), telescopic hiking poles for better grip and balance. read more After Heiligenbrunn take the steep descent over the stairs with caution so that you do not slip.**Tourist information:** www.schladming-dachstein.at Schladming-Dachstein Tourist Office Ramsauerstraße 756 8970 Schladming T: +43 3687 23310 info@schladming-dachstein.at Schladming-Dachstein OST winter adventure map, available from the information offices in the region. read more [Fullscreen](https://maps.schladming-dachstein.at/v2/en/gdi_summer/2d/-1/detail/-1/-1/-1/4469/121372053) Wheather predicition ---------------------- today 14.09.2026 Mountain 10°C Valley 20°C Precipitation Probability 80 % Amount 1.5 l/m² Wind speed Nordwest 15 km / h Sun Sun hours 6.7 h Sunrise 06:39 o clock Sunset 19:18 o clock Rain and rain showers will end around noon.
