More information

From Schladming to Rohrmoos via provincial highway L722 (Rohrmoosstraße road), turn left at the roundabout and follow the Tälerstraße road to Untertal-Dorf, turn right after the Hotel Landauerhof and follow the Obertalstraße road to the car park at Eschachalm.

Starting from the hiking trail head Eschachalm – initially alongside the stream until you reach the alpine grazing area at the Neualm. After an uphill stage, things get a little easier, the forest is left behind and small waterfalls  add life to the scenery. You now cross an open area known as the Neualmkar and come to the Keinprechthütte chalet.

Nestled in the midst of an alpine basin, the countryside is dominated by the surrounding peaks of the Schladminger Tauern. The Keinprechthütte is a milestone along the Schladminger Tauern High Trail, and is also an outstanding starting point for other mountaineering tours. Curious what natural wonders are hidden behind those mountaintops?

This particular hike, however, can be continued either over the Trockenbrotscharte to the Landarwirseehütte and Gollinghütte, or to the west across the Krukeckscharte and Rotmandlscharte to the shores of the Giglachseen Lakes. From the Keinprechthütte, the same path or a forest lane both lead back to the trailhead at Eschachhütt'n Inn.

With the Planai buses from Schladming (Planet-Planai, Lendplatz) or Rohrmoos (Rohrmoos-Zentrum) to Obertal - bus stop Eschachalm.
Parking is available at the hiking trail head Eschachalm in Obertal.
