From the parking lot in Hinterwald you choose the entrance to the hiking trail to the left of the forest road and march along the torrent in a very relaxed way. Small bridges, rushing waterfalls and sunny spots add variety to the tour. At the wild animal feeding station, keep to the right and walk up the short climb to the power station. Now follow the forest path until you see the wide alpine landscape with the managed huts after the last piece of forest. Walk back along the same path.
From the Ennstalbundesstraße (B320) turn off at the Trautenfels junction in the direction of Irdning, Donnersbach, Donnersbachwald. Through the village of Donnersbach and another 12 km to Donnersbachwald. Past the Riesneralm and about 4 km to Hinterwald.Free Parking at Hinterwald
There gives no puplic transport.
  • Plan your trip in advance, taking into account walking time, distance, elevation gain, hazards, and weather reports.
  • Let others know where you are going and when you want to be back.
  • Turn back in good time if the weather deteriorates. If you are caught in a thunderstorm, stay away from free-standing trees and wait out the storm, crouching if possible.
  • Stay on marked trails and remember to close pasture fences.
  • If you are a dog owner: Clarify before the hike if you need to cross a pasture. Keep your dog on a leash and make sure it stays calm. If a cow attacks, let the dog off the leash immediately. Never pick him up to defend him.
Good shoes, clothes and a backpack for a small snack or break.
Possibility to continue on the forest road to Stallalm, 45 minutes from Lärchkaralm.Tourism information: www.schladming-dachstein.at
