After about 25 minutes driving time you reach the starting point of the hike, which leads over a forest path slightly ascending to the Hackeralm. From there you hike on the Mitterstein circular trail through wooded area level in the direction of the Hirtenkapelle, the highlight of the hike. The trail continues across alpine meadows to the Meislsteinalm, which offers a wonderful view of the Steinernes Meer and invites you to linger.  Back you go on a road again to Hackeralm, where the round closes. The last part is similar to the first part of the hike, with a wonderful view back to the starting point.

From St. Johann you go up the Hahnbaum to the Vogei Hütt’n. A small path leads uphill over alpine meadows and through wooded areas to the destination. In between, benches invite you to take a break and enjoy a wonderful view of the Salzach valley and the Hochkönig. A refreshing arm Kneipp bath halfway gives again energy to master also the rest of the way. At the Vogei Hütt’n you can enjoy a cool drink as well as a Brettljause. For children there is a petting zoo with rabbits, a few cats can also always be found around the hut. Downhill it goes the already known path to the entry point.

The first part leads on a wide forest road, up to the managed Igltalalm. From there, a small hiking trail leads past the summit of the Schober to the Heukareck, which offers a breathtaking view of the Salzach valley. The hike requires a good physical condition and surefootedness. Since there is no refreshment stop on the summit, it is recommended to pack snacks and enough to drink. Good shoes are also a must for this hike, so that you can safely manage the ascent. However, the climb is definitely worth it, as you will be rewarded with a tremendous distant view.

The climb is worth it, however, as the view of the lake lying in the valley basin is simply breathtaking. A small hiking trail leads along the lake to the two huts. The way back is the same as the ascent and leads back to the starting point.

On this hike we go directly from the hotel to the Alpendorf Bergbahnen. The gondola takes us to the top station at about 1600 m, from where the actual tour starts. First, we will climb moderately up to the Gernkogel. Passing the Geisterberg, the path goes almost level towards the mountain lake, which presents itself in a wonderful turquoise color when the weather is nice.  Slightly descending it then goes over flowering alpine meadows and through a small piece of forest to the Maurachalm. The alp is known for its own schnapps and the always good-humored innkeepers, who often entertain the guests with musical interludes.  If you want to extend the hike a bit, you can take the summit of the Sonntagskogel and then hike a circular route via Wagrain to the Maurachalm.  The way back is the same as the way there until the gondola, with which we then go back down to the Alpendorf.
