Site plan Wurzeralm

Tip: For an undisturbed mountain experience, we recommend starting the themed circular trail "2 million years in 2 hours" in an anti-clockwise direction. This way, you can avoid the construction site traffic and reach the Brunnsteinersee lake and the continuing hiking trails in a relaxed manner.

Circular hike from the Wurzeralm mountain station via the Halssattel to the Dümlerhütte and back to the Rote Wand saddle and Brunnsteinersee lake to the Wurzeralm funicular mountain station.

The starting point of the tour is the mountain station of the Wurzeralm funicular railway. You hike downhill on hiking trail no. 218 through the Almdorf, then left to the Naturfreundehaus Wurzeralm. Here you follow the road to the Öhlerhütte where hiking trail no. 218 leads right into the forest.

You now cross the forest road a few times before the hiking trail leads left up to the Halssattel. Here you have a wonderful panorama. Now it goes downhill and then uphill again to the Dümlerhütte. Take a break and let your gaze wander over the surrounding mountains.

After a breather, climb northwards along the edge of the Stofferkar to the saddle of the Rote Wand. A magnificent view of the Wurzeralm, the Gesäuse and the Rottenmanner Tauern will delight many hiker's heart!

The descent is via the small, idyllic Brunnsteinersee lake. Finally, you reach hiking trail number 201, which leads back to the Wurzeralm funicular railway via the Linzerhaus.
