Description

This very long crossing starts at the Erzherzog Johann hut on the Sölkpass road, and leads via the Haseneckscharte or the Hochstubofen (additional 200 metres in altitude, 1.5 hours) to the Neunkirchner hut or the Almhütten on the Eselsberger Alm (Funklhütte, Hölzlerhütte, Knollihütte).

If you are in very good condition, you can continue your journey directly from here or stay overnight.

The way continues via the Seifried Valley, the Seifriedalm and the catered for huts on the Breitlahnalm (Wundereralm, Bauernalm, Bremalm) to Mößna.

From there you can take the valleybus back.
