De tour

A hike at the foot of the majestic Grimming with magnificent views over the Enns Valley.
From Espang, we hike up the Stutterner Berg, past a hunting lodge through the beech forest to the Feiglstein (1.240m) and to the snack pit - until we finally reach the heart of the Grimming. We are never alone here and will always meet loyal companions along the way.

Routebeschrijving

The starting point of the hike is the village of Espang, where the trail initially leads through the village center, past a few houses. After the right-hand bend, turn left after approx. 50 m onto a forest road 4.6 km up the Stutterner Berg. After the first 400 m, turn right at the hunting lodge and from there a marked hiking trail (trail no. 682) leads further north through a beech forest up to the Feiglstein (1.240 m). After approx. 5 km we reach the junction to the Jausengrube at an altitude of 1.300 meters. Now we find ourselves in the so-called heart of the Grimming, which is enclosed by the impressive south ridge of the Großer Grimming and the south-east face of the Schartenspitze. From here, the marked hiking trail ends and the alpine terrain begins for the ascent to the Grimming Tor, which is only recommended for experienced hikers. (Gravel path, danger of falling rocks, snow conditions). At the foot of the Grimming Tor, the trail leads uphill and downhill along the southern slope of the Grimming. This is followed by a challenging descent to the Grimming hiking trail (no. 681). There it goes downhill to the Grimming Hütte. From here, follow trail no. 20 to Niederstuttern or trail no. 681 downhill to Trautenfels Castle.

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.

In your weatherproof backpack belong: 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.

In thunder storms: summits, crest-sites and safety rope aids are to be avoided.
