The tour

UP TO THE FELDL. Wonderful: From the Spechtensee hut you hike to the Stoiringalm and to the Feldl. Via Hochtor you come down to the Wörschachwalderhof and on the marked path back to the Spechtensee hut. Hiker's heart, what more do you want?


Turn-by-turn directions

The tour starts at the parking lot of the Spechtensee hut. Turn right and continue to the Mojer farm and take the marked forest path up to the Stoiringalm. Turn right and walk along the forest path to the last hut. Behind it, turn left on the forest path and follow the path up to the Feldl. The summit cross and the bench at the top invite you to take a rest. A fascinating view of the surrounding mountains, including Hochmölbing, Hochtausing, Hechelstein and Grimming. Continue west and follow the markings via Hochtor down to Wörschachwalderhof. Via the forest path to the idyllic Spechtensee and back to the starting point. 

Getting there
Coming from Liezen or Schladming, take the exit towards Tauplitz (B145) at the Trautenfels traffic circle. At Klachau turn left, drive through the village and after the underpass turn right uphill to Wörschachwald to Spechtensee.

Equipment
  • Plan your tour in advance and take into account walking time, route length, altitude difference, danger spots and weather forecast.
  • The Alpine Club provides detailed information on "Safe Mountain Hiking". Under www.alpenverein.at you can inform comprehensively about it.
  • Together is much more beautiful and at the same time safer in the mountains. Do not go alone, if possible, and adapt the tour to the ability of your group.
  • Let them know where you are going and when you want to be back. Also sign hut or summit books.
  • Turn back in good time if the weather deteriorates. If you get caught in a thunderstorm, do not stay on the summit or ridge and stay away from individual trees. Wait out the storm, if possible in a crouching position.
  • Stay on the marked trails and remember to close pasture fences again.
  • Getting up the trail is only half the battle. Stay alert, especially on the descents, to make it back to the valley safely.
  • In case of emergency, keep calm and call the mountain rescue on 140. If you have no reception, take out the sim card and dial 112.
  • If you encounter cows: It is best to pass above the herd with at least 50 meters distance. Stay calm, don't make any frantic movements and don't run away. Do not imitate cow sounds and do not try to pet the animals. A stick and loud shouting can often make the animals turn back in an emergency.
  • If you are a dog owner: Clarify before the hike if you have to cross a pasture. Keep your dog on a leash and make sure he stays calm. If a cow attacks, let the dog off the leash immediately. Never pick him up to defend him.

Sun and rain protection, warm, windproof clothing, drinks and provisions, small first aid kit, hiking map and a fully charged cell phone.

Suitable footwear goes without saying.
