A challenging beautiful mountain tour in the Murtal adventure region

From the Edelraute hut, the well-marked trail leads through a pine forest past the large Scheibelsee lake. The trail continues in switchbacks through a steep scree gully to the eastern ridge of the Großer Bösenstein in the Murtal adventure region. This is ascended via a small, easily recognizable path that leads over boulders and scree. If you are fit enough, you can return via the Kleiner Bösenstein (2395 m) and the Großer Hengst (2159 m) to the Edelrautehütte. This beautiful ridge walk ( "Langermannweg") is also well marked. From the Großer Bösenstein, a path leads in a southwesterly direction to a saddle and from there ascends to the Kleiner Bösenstein, continuing along the ridge to the Großer Hengst, from where the descent to the Edelrautehütte takes place in steep switchbacks.

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.
