Schießeck from Pusterwald
Open
From peak to peak in the Wölzer Tauern. An enjoyable and easy alpine and summit hike with a stop at the Grillerhütte in Pusterwald.
Vast cirques, alpine pastures rich in blossoms and three 2000-meter peaks in one fell swoop: Starting from the Grillerhütte, one of the last alpine dairies in the Murtal region, we get to know the "back side" of the Lachtal hiking and skiing area. "This year the Almrauschblüte was particularly beautiful," Martha, the dairymaid of the Grillerhütte, tells us. If you are out and about now, you will see only a few alpine bushes, but numerous alpine flowers and orchids. After the hike, we recommend stopping at the Grillerhütte, where butter, Murtaler Steirerkäse and Bröselkäse are produced directly - a culinary delight at over 1700 meters above sea level.

More information
From Judenburg via the B114 in the direction of Hohentauern, turn left in Möderbrugg to Pusterwald (36 km, approx. 40 minutes).
From Trieben an der Pyhrn freeway A 9 via B114 direction Judenburg in Möderbrugg turn right to Pusterwald (48 km, approx. 50 minutes).
We start at the Grillerhütte (1763 m) and follow the gravel road slightly uphill. At the fork Grillersteig we keep straight on and shortly after reach a pasture gate or the waypoint Schleiferboden (1830 m). The path leads leisurely across the alpine pasture, where numerous grazing animals can be seen. The further ascent is easy and leads in long serpentines through a sea of flowers with a variety of orchids. Arriving at the ridge, we make a short detour to the Kleiner Zinken (2135 m) and look down on the Lachtal hiking and skiing area. The scenic and easily recognizable trail leads us past the lift supports to the Großer Zinken (also found on maps under Hoher Zinken). Slightly downhill we hike to the crossroads Grillerlucke, before it goes uphill again to the third peak, the Schießeck (2275 m). The descent leads over the Grillerlucke to the extensive alpine pasture and over the Bärentalbach back to the Grillerhütte.
It's worth stopping by the Grillerhütte!
The starting point of the hike is not accessible by public transport.
