ON THE TRAIL OF HERBS to the Wastlalm

Start at the car park by the Aberg ski centre and walk along an asphalt road first towards Hinterjetzbach. Here you follow the access road uphill for a while until you continue on path no. 445 across a meadow. A little steeper uphill you follow the "Ziachweg" through a small forest. You pass the Wastlbauer and come to a gravel path. Continue past the Eberlalm (not managed in summer) until you can see the Christernreith mountain inn on the left. The trail continues uphill until you keep left at the next fork and follow trail nr. 28a to the Wastlalm. The descent is like ascent! As an alternative for the descent you can also take the goods trail nr. 28 and nr. 11, which is not as steep as trail nr. 445. As a second variant for the 'descent' you can follow trail nr. 28a up to the Abergalm and continue on trail nr. 28 to the top station of the Schwarzeckalm cable car and go down in comfort (information about the opening days of the cable car, you can find on www.hochkoenig.at).
