Opis drogi

From the Hochwurzen summit, follow the path No 60 southwarth to the Hüttecksattel. After just a few minutes you pass by the "Kleine Wurzen" - a secondary summit that is covered with mountain pines and offers a nice 360°-viwe. From there you walk downhill to Hüttecksattel mountain saddle, where you turn left and follow the path n° 61 to Untertal.

Walk down until the trail joins a forest lane and path n° 773, which you will follow further downhill. Just above farmhouse vlg. "Pocher" the trail exits from the forest at "Johannahöhe", where you enjoy a great view over the entrance into the valley of Obertal. Follow the trail downhill over meadows past the "Pocher" and "Andenbacher" farms, where you make a left and walk along the road (Ahornweg) until you reach the main road (Tälerstraße) at a hairpin. There you make a right and follow the path to Untertal village.

In the village restaurant Landalm is a good choice for a break. From the village buses run back to Rohrmoos, the valley terminal of Hochwurzen cable-car and Schladming. If you want to walk a bit further you can extend the tour to Schladming with a walk through Talbacklamm gorge (+45 minutes).

Equipment

Changes in weather patterns, quick falls in temperature, thunderstorms, wind, fog and snow are some of the dangers that can be encountered on a hiking tour. Hosts of alpine huts and mountain refuges have a lot of experience in the mountains and can give good advice about weather and the trails. Poor equipment, overestimation of one's own capabilities, carelessness, poor personal constitution and/or wrong judgement can lead to critical situations. In case of thunderstorms: avoid summits, ridges and steel ropes.

GPS data and orienteering

Available GPS data - just like hiking maps - is only a guidance for orientation and can never depict a trail exactly with all its details. Especially at dangerous spots it is essential to judge on site how to proceed.

In an emergency please call:

140 - for Alpine emergencies (all over Austria)
112 - European GSM emergency number

A well-packed backpack is helpful and especially when touring Alpine terrain a tuque, gloves, a windproof jacket and pants are standard equipment. Good, waterproof shoes, sun glasses, sun cream and sufficient beverages are essential too. Torch light, a map of the area, knie and a small first-aid kit should also be in the backpack.
