Gerler Round from the Nechnitz

• We start on the Nechnitz at the entrance to the GH Haider, the entrance to the "Holzskulpturenweg" is marked with a wooden arch and cannot be missed.
• We climb the first 1.5 kilometres along the themed trail with wooden figures and information boards.
• The wooden sculpture trail ends at a culvert on the forest road, directly below the Gschaid-Nock or Gschaid-Berg.
• We follow the "Gschaid-Berg" markings up to the summit cross with the panorama panels.
• We join trail no. 2 and walk the distance to the Hausebner-Berg or the "Hubenhalt".
• Now we change to trail no. 740 and follow the markings "Teichalm/Gerlerkogel".
• We leave the "Wildkogel summit" on the right and soon reach the "Gerlerkogel hut".
• Above the hut, the trail continues to the "Gerlerkreuz", a wayside cross below the Gerlerkogel.
• Above the hut, the trail continues to the "Gerlerkreuz", a wayside cross below the Gerlerkogel.
• At the "Gerlerkogel", we take trail no. 756 to the right to the "Ecktoni", an old crossroads directly on the Teichalmstraße.
• The next trail no. 756 runs parallel to the Teichalmstraße for a while, then turn right to the "Landhaus Kurzen", just before the holiday home change to trail no. 9 and walk past the house at the back.
• Pass the Wild and Greitbauer farms and continue in the direction of "Nechnitz" down to the main road.
• We turn right uphill and can already see our starting point again, the Haider Inn.

Variation to the Teichalm:

• At the Gerlerkogel, turn left onto trail no. 740 to the Teichalmsee lake and return along the same trail to the Gerlerkreuz cross.

For local transport we recommend the SAM-SammelTaxi.
