Parking space at Buchauer Saddle is subject to a fee

From the parking area at Buchauer Sattel (861 m), we head off in a north-westerly direction. We first walk across meadows, then enter the forest.

We follow the marked trail no. 636 toward the Grabneralm. The path climbs steadily and cuts across the forest road several times – great for keeping the hike varied and easy on the knees.
The last two kilometers then follow the forest road all the way.

After about 2.5 hours, we reach the Grabneralm (1,395 m).
Time for a break. Time for regional flavors. Time to stay a little longer if we feel like it.

You should also be well prepared for changeable weather.

Packing your backpack correctly makes things much easier:
Pack heavy items first. Your water bottle should always be easily accessible in a side pocket. Everything you need frequently, such as sunglasses, your smartphone, or hiking map, should be packed on top.
