More information

Coming from Trieben, follow the B114 to the Triebental junction. Follow the Triebentalstraße for approx. 4 km
Parking lot 2 Seyfreid directly at the starting point.Please note the parking system in the Triebental!

With the destination always in sight, we start across a cow pasture along the edge of the fence, then briefly along a gravel road before turning left after a small meadow following the signs onto a forest path and then continuing along the almost parallel gravel road to the Steiner Alm. There, follow the signs and markings to the left to Triebernertörl and Grießstein across a meadow again. Up to the Triebenertörl, the hiking trail is easily recognizable, followed by partly open and rocky terrain up to the summit.

Descend via the same route.

No fear of heights, good physical fitness

For a conflict-free coexistence on alpine pastures and meadows it is important to observe a few rules, especially when traveling with dogs. (Source: www.sichere-almen.at - 06/2021)

Avoid contact with grazing animals, do not feed them, keep a safe distance!
Keep calm, do not frighten grazing animals!
Mother cows protect their calves. Avoid encounters between mother cows and dogs!
Always keep dogs under control and on a short leash. If an attack by a grazing animal is foreseeable: Immediately unleash!
Do not leave hiking trails on alpine pastures and meadows!
If grazing animals block the way, avoid them as far as possible!
When grazing animals approach: Stay calm, do not turn your back, avoid the animals!
Leave the grazing area quickly at the first sign of restlessness of the animals!Fences must be respected!
If there is a gate, use it, then close it well and cross the pasture quickly!
Treat the people working here, nature and the animals with respect!

A few tips for correct and fair behavior in the forest: (Source: www.bundesforste.at - 6/2021)

Hikers should avoid visits to the forest about 1.5 hours before sunrise and after sunset, as wildlife is especially active during this time.
Plastic bottles, handkerchiefs, cigarette butts & Co have no place in the forest! Please make sure that you do not leave any trash in the forest.
Camping and making fire - is strictly forbidden in the forest!
In principle, each person is allowed to collect 2 kg of mushrooms and berries per day for personal use in the forest. It is only forbidden if the forest owner expressly forbids it.
