Path Conditions
The scenic winter hike begins at the village square in Maria Alm. Über the opposite bridge next to the Moserwirt inn, you pass by the Almerwirt inn to path No. 12 towards Saalfelden. Along the way, you discover the dreamy Gasteg chapel on a small hill – maybe the Augenbründl, the legendary healing spring, is just bubbling. Then follows a short, somewhat steep ascent to Dürnberg on path No. 21b. Along the edge of the forest, magnificent views of the Steinernes Meer open up. At the next intersection, turn left onto path No. 21c to the Kronreith inn. Here you can expect a warm atmosphere: treat yourself to a refreshment on the panoramic terrace and enjoy the breathtaking view of Maria Alm and the surrounding mountain scenery. After the break, the path leads you through the Grießbachwinkel, past snow-covered meadows and forests, to the junction with hiking trail 23b. Via path No. 23 you reach the Rohrmoos farm and finally via the Krallerwinkel back to the town center of Maria Alm.
