Do not park directly at Brandhof Castle (private property)!

We start our hike at the Brandhof in Gollrad and follow the trail number 853. Here we hike on forest roads (shortcuts through the forest possible) and forest paths to the alpine pasture of the Leitenalm and further to the hut on the Graualm. (not managed)

Return the same way.

Brandhof Castle was built between 1822 and 1828 by Archduke Johann. In the built-in chapel he was married in 1829 with the k.k. Postmaster's daughter Anna Plochl.

Emergency call mountain rescue: 140

Emergency reporting tip - provide answers to the six W questions: What happened? How many injured? Where did the accident happen (possibly GPS coordinates)? Who is reporting (callback number)? When did the accident happen? Weather at the accident site?

Proper backpacking makes many things easier: pack heavy things first. The water bottle should always be within easy reach in a side pocket. All things that are often needed, such as sunglasses, camera or hiking map, belong on top. An emergency kit including blister plaster belongs in every backpack and a clothing according to the "onion system" is always recommended!

Refreshment stop on the Graualm - open from about the beginning of June to mid-September,
