Putzentalalm - Prebertörl - Rudolf Schober Hütte

If you spend the night at the Putzentalalm, this tour can be used as the 6th day stage of the Schladminger Tauern Höhenweg to neighboring Krakow.

Like the 6th stage of the original route, the alternative from Putzentalalm is also one of the longer stages on the Schladminger Tauern Höhenweg. You hike over several mountain passes along the main Alpine ridge in the Schladminger Tauern. Prebertörl, Rantentörl and Hubenbauertörl are the defining crossings. And with the Hinterkarsee and the nearby Wiegenseen there are also beautiful mountain lakes on your way.

More information

In Pruggern (from the west) or Espang (from the east) exit the B320 Ennstalbundesstraße and go to Stein an der Enns. From there continue towards Kleinsölktal and at the fork in the road in Hinterwald turn right towards Breitlahnhütte/Schwarzensee. The road to the Breitlahnhütte is a toll road.

After spending the night at the Putzentalalm, you continue on hiking trail #786 to Prebertörl. Between Alpkarspitze and Opferstock you climb through the Alpkar up to Prebertörl. The last 200 meters are a short distance but very steep. From the Prebertörl you have a beautiful view of the Prebergraben and now cross the southern slopes eastwards below the Gamskarspitze and the Knarrnspitze. Soon you will reach the crossroads at Rantentörl, where you meet the original route of the Tauern Höhenweg. You follow path #702 down to Hinterkarsee, which is ideal for a rest.From there it goes briefly up to Hinterkarscharte (2,274 m) and on the northern flank from Kircheleck and Lachkogel over to Hubenbauertörl (2,050 m), where the path from the Striegleralm joins your path. Now it goes southeast downhill to the Hubenbaueralm and at around 1,550 m above sea level through the forest again northeast to the Grafenalm. Through a short stretch of forest uphill you finally reach the Rudolf Schober Hut.

On long summer days, hikers in good physical condition can also take a detour to Lemperkarsee at the start of the hike.

The starting point at the Putzentalalm can only be reached by hiking. You can get there on a hike of around 1.5 hours from the Breitlahnhütte in Kleinsölktal. You can reach this in summer (attention! Please note the timetable validity!) with the Sölker Tälerbus No. 946 from Gröbming.

Car parking at Breitlahnhütte.
