Schratlboden Trail - Großraming

Description:
Technically difficult circuit of 16.9 km and 732 metres in altitude in the shadow of the Schieferstein.Directions:
We start the tour at the Aschatal bus stop near the climbing wall at the roundabout. Between the houses of the Aschasiedlung settlement, we head straight up to the Auberg. Here we reach the Menweg. Initially on easy paths through the forest, the route then climbs very steeply up to the Schratlboden. Walking here is difficult in places as it is very steep and stony, but you also have to make your way through a lot of branches. We continue until we reach the highest point of today's tour after about 4 kilometres. From here, we keep to the right down a fort road. We walk along this road in the direction of "Gscheid". At this crossroads we go straight over it. Walking below the Größtenberg, we come to the "Hollnbuchner Siedlung" From here, we walk along the road for a few kilometres until we reach the Orchideenwiese. Here we go down the meadow into the Hölleithen. We walk along the Hölleitehnbach stream and after a few kilometres come to the Hölleiten waterfall. Through a small gorge we reach the road again, which we follow until we get back to our starting point.Equipment:
The required equipment always depends on the particular tour and the weather conditions. Regarding the food: This is very individual and it is recommended to have rather too much than too little with equipment and food. For a 5km round in the valley you need less than for a demanding tour in the mountains. The weather can change quickly and if you are not constantly on the move or need to take a break, for example, warming clothing is of great importance.
