Turn-by-turn directions
Our hike begins from the Stoderzinken parking lot at the end of the (toll) Alpine road in Gröbming. Trail no. 675 initially leads us slightly downhill to the Brünner Hütte, from where we hike westwards through the “Brandner Urwald” forest (trail no. 618). We follow a narrow forest path, which first leads steadily downhill and then gently up and down through wide hollows, then over humps and small rocky lanes, until we reach the hill above the Ahornsee lake. In the last quarter, we hike very close to the edge of the precipice high above the Grafenbergsee. We reach the Grafenbergalm pasture basin via beautiful alpine meadows. From here, we decide to take trail no. 667 to the highest point of our hike, the Kufstein (2,049 m). We descend via the Stornalm. At the Schartl we stick to trail no. 666 and end our hike in Weißenbach bei Haus.

Safety on the mountainside: changes in the weather, sudden fall in temperature, thunder storms, wind, fog and snow fields are all objective dangers and require the correct behaviour whilst underway. the landlords of the huts are all very knowledgeable about the mountains and can give you good tips about the weather and the routes. Insufficient equipment, exaggerated opinion of ones capabilities, frivolousness, poor health condition and a false evaluation of the situation can lead to a critical situation. In thunder storms: summits, crest-sites and safety rope aids are to be avoided.
