This attractive mountain tour in the northern part of the Seckauer Tauern starts in the glacial Triebental valley, which already gives you an idea of the beautiful hiking area we are heading for during the drive. The well-known Bergerhube is the perfect starting point (with camping facilities) for numerous hikes. This ridge hike is an experience in itself, and the views on fine days exceed all expectations: from the view into the heart of the Seckauer Tauern mountains over the Liesingtal valley with the Eisenerz Alps behind it to the Gesäuse mountains.

We start at the Bergerhube (1412 m) and hike along a slightly ascending forest road - in the direction of the Moaralm - to the Bärensuhlsattel junction. The trail leads uphill through the forest, crossing forest roads and passing a wooden hut. After a short time, we reach a forest-free slope and then the Bärensuhlsattel (1794 m), where we turn left and hike uphill to the Griesmoarkogel (2009 m). After a short descent, we hike uphill to the Himmeleck (2096 m). We return the same way, but if you still have enough energy you can also do a loop via the Himmelkogel and the Moaralm.

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.

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.
