The tour
A fine winter hike for the whole family. Most of the trail is slightly uphill and also offers some nice viewpoints to rest and take pictures. Those interested in history can take a short detour to the Neuhaus church ruins (1575) after a few minutes' walk.

Turn-by-turn directions
Shortly after the start you cross a bridge (below you the Ennstal federal road) and pass the Moarhof - the organic farm and the headquarters of the organic institute of the HBLFA Raumberg-Gumpenstein. You follow the path and after a comfortable hour on meadow and forest paths you reach the Grimminghütte. You will certainly find a place to take a breather, even if only in front of the hut, as the hosts are in the valley in winter and the hut is closed.
Getting there
