Sure footedness and a head for heights are essential. ​ This route starts at Gasthof Kleefeld, on path no. 2, between the game enclosures and leads in the direction of the Sparber Mountain. The climb rises steeply upwards to the Dürntalalm pastures, then leads through the forest to the Scharte Mountain between the two Sparber Mountain peaks. From here, the route leads briefly downwards in a westerly direction, then very steeply upwards on an exposed section then continues via two ladders and rocky ridges to the narrow summit. The descent follows the same path back to Gasthof Kleefeld. ​ [ Tour and route information ](#ttgCollapseTourdetails) --------------------------------------------------------- **Starting place:** 5350 Strobl **Destination:** 5350 Strobl **duration:** 3h 0m **length:** 3,2 km **Altitude difference (uphill):** 814m **Altitude difference (downhill):** 128m **Lowest point:** 699m **Highest point:** 1.427m **difficulty:** difficult **condition:** medium **panoramic view:** Great panorama **Paths covering:** Climbing mount, Hiking trail [ ![Altitude profile Sparber](//static.et4.de/ElevationProfileChart/Go.ashx?Experience=hoehenprofil-meta&Server=meta.tourdata.at&AddElevations=true&AddOfftrackWaypoints=false&AddSurfaces=true&AddWaypoints=false&globalid=tourdata_tour_100129&width=355&height=250&FontSize=12&mkt=en) ![Altitude profile Sparber](//static.et4.de/ElevationProfileChart/Go.ashx?Experience=hoehenprofil-meta&Server=meta.tourdata.at&AddElevations=true&AddOfftrackWaypoints=false&AddSurfaces=true&AddWaypoints=false&globalid=tourdata_tour_100129&width=450&height=350&mkt=en) ](#ttgHoehenprofilModal "Sparber") [ Along the trail ](#ttgCollapseAnDerStrecke) ----------------------------------------------- ![](https://assets.tourdata.at/660x495/300489/D1DB28FACB0B51F862883E80399F8DDB1AAEA64F7897A22F1E7B6F203ADC149C/gasthof-kleefeld.jpg) Gasthof Kleefeld **Direction information**: Departure ![](https://assets.tourdata.at/660x495/300490/041E07E9F98D42F5931244C59F137C97863594A9B89F2D5D4CA1C12359110B96/wildgehege.jpg) Wildgehege **Direction information**: left Forststraße **Direction information**: left ![](https://assets.tourdata.at/660x495/300491/14B27423A493EB7222C9E07AD2A581AE4929BFBE06F79AA201D8CFD2049F995C/abzweigung-wildgehegeweg.jpg) Abzweigung Wildgehegeweg **Direction information**: straight ahead ![](https://assets.tourdata.at/660x495/300492/7EF8B5FFA14AE93CBF9E57292AE356B1237AD68FD1C831BCA4DDE61D45BC59C3/abzweigung-brustwandweg.jpg) Abzweigung Brustwandweg **Direction information**: left ![](https://assets.tourdata.at/660x495/300493/04D4D63BE3C69D77F85A8860F3FDF2561FA8CE6134878D72267DBFA5600453C7/beginn-des-steiges.jpg) Beginn des Steiges **Direction information**: right ![](https://assets.tourdata.at/660x495/300494/33FF090FE92A8383EEE1EECF31A72AA5FEFB4CA1F8A4B31BE3B306A5EDF49437/duerntalalm.jpg) Dürntalalm **Direction information**: straight ahead ![](https://assets.tourdata.at/660x495/300495/2BA99093B62D01B9131F0D7FDA89BCA0908AE3EF092E1B86188F87CFEA3BE5D0/querung-der-forststrasse.jpg) Querung der Forststraße, Alm **Direction information**: straight ahead ![](https://assets.tourdata.at/660x495/300496/9FF205B0A878124204F6A20B2A8B59985B58F723FF84FA3FC78330E62F8E7C54/waldrand.jpg) Waldrand **Direction information**: straight ahead ![](https://assets.tourdata.at/660x495/300497/6F294C08F6F8DA20C4688581D79F38051CA3188BF62207CEE58493439A8EED2E/steinmandl-im-wald.jpg) Steinmandl im Wald **Direction information**: straight ahead Scharte **Direction information**: straight ahead ![](https://assets.tourdata.at/660x495/300498/380C78DF78C39679E5A4836C16C7943BDBD42D050293ABC8612EFF756253971D/gipfelkreuz.jpg) Gipfelkreuz [ View copyright © Copyright: GH Kleefeld Close copyright ![](https://assets.tourdata.at/660x495/185711/34A24AA8152ACFE9775174E6CB392CC093543DB8202FBFB0E31DDAE545F0F9A8/winter-kleefeld.jpg "Winter Kleefeld (© Copyright: GH Kleefeld)") Kleefeld Inn ](https://www.hornerakusko.sk/en/oesterreich-gastronomie/detail/103856/kleefeld-inn.html) [ View copyright © Copyright: Gasthof Kleefeld Hotel GmbH Close copyright ![](https://assets.tourdata.at/660x495/119429/2AAA0B12E314CA519C0FC7EF9A8B30D823E95C48CE3F82B710A4CFDB2447BFDE/hausansicht-hotel-gasthof-kleefeld.jpg "Exterior view of the Hotel Gasthof Kleefeld (© Copyright: Gasthof Kleefeld Hotel GmbH)") Hotel Gasthof Kleefeld ](https://www.hornerakusko.sk/en/oesterreich-unterkunft/detail/160195/hotel-gasthof-kleefeld.html) 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14.
