Summit storming route from Maria Alm to the Buchauerscharte
Summit storming route from Maria Alm to the Buchauerscharte
You start your hike in Maria Alm and drive by car to the former inn Rohrmoos, where you can park conveniently. From here, your challenging and scenic mountain route begins. First, you follow the forest paths that lead you through a beautiful landscape. The fresh mountain air and the impressive nature around you will motivate you to keep going. You can enjoy the tranquility of the surroundings and catch the first views of the surrounding peaks. After you reach the Freithofalm – an unmanaged alpine pasture offering a nice break – you switch to the alpine trail. Here the path becomes more demanding, and you should definitely bring sure-footedness and freedom from dizziness. Pay attention to the markings and be careful, especially on steeper passages. The ascent to the pass requires some effort but is rewarded with magnificent views. From the pass, you can admire the surrounding mountains and enjoy the impressive alpine landscape. Note that there are no refreshment stops on this route, so take enough provisions and water with you. Plan your time well so that you return to the parking lot safely and on time. Have fun on your hike and fully enjoy nature!

Path Conditions
You start from the former inn Rohrmoos in the Krallergraben, where you can find parking facilities. Follow path no. 23 and continue hiking on path no. 414, passing the Krallerbauer to the Kaseregg Chapel. From there, the further ascent leads to Freithofalm, where you pass a cozy hunting hut. The path now becomes steeper and leads you through dwarf pines, followed by scree and rocks, until you reach the Buchauerscharte. For the descent, you can take the same path back. Alternatively, you have the option to descend via the Riemannhaus (path 401) and then take the alpine Ramseidersteig to Maria Alm (401A). This descent variant takes about 4 hours.
