We start our tour in Mürzzuschlag at the town square or in Mürzzuschlag-Ganz. In the Ganz area, we turn right onto the paved road, which leads us to the parking lot at Bärenkogelsattel. From there, a forest road takes us directly to Ganzalm. At the Naturfreundehaus, we have the opportunity to take a break and recharge.
About 50 meters after the Naturfreundehaus, we reach a trail junction:
- Left leads via the Ganzweg towards Moschkogel.
- Right continues straight towards Amundsenhöhe.
We choose the right route, heading towards Amundsenhöhe, continuing to Pretul and the Roseggerhaus.
During a break at the Roseggerhaus, we can decide on our return route:
- Continue via Pretul to Schwarzriegelalm or Moschkogel.
- Descend back into the valley using the same route.
Stop for a break at the huts along the route and enjoy some well-deserved refreshments!
Take the train to Mürzzuschlag station.
