Snowshoe hike from Stüblergut to Wölkerkogel

At the parking lot Stüblergut (1), 1365 m, there is a location board and two yellow signposts. We follow the signpost with the inscription (Römerweg - Altes Almhaus - 1,650 m - 1 ¾ h) and walk directly between the inn and the farm buildings. After a few meters, the forest road branches slightly to the left, with red-white-red markings and yellow signposts here. We follow trail no. 30, which leads continuously slightly uphill. In between we are on a strongly formed hollow path, which is partly impassable due to bushes and trees and is therefore bypassed at the edges of the slope. After about 40 minutes the path joins a wide forest road. As an orientation aid - since there are no signposts - there is a high seat (2), 1469 m, which stands directly in the crossing area. Now turn right and continue on the forest road. In between we have a clear view of the 1928 m high Rappoldkogel, which is also a worthwhile snowshoe destination. After about 15 minutes we reach another forest road, which is also used as a cross-country ski trail. From now on we are accompanied - visibly and audibly - by the windmills, which are located above the further course of the path. We keep to the right and continue along the edge of the groomed cross-country ski trail until we reach the exit (3), 1578 m, a yellow signpost to the left indicates the Alte Almhaus. The marked path leads slightly uphill to the road, which we follow to the Alte Almhaus (4), 1649 m. From the parking lot you can already see the destination and walk the last meters uphill to the Wölkerkogel (5) at 1706 m above sea level. After a comfortable break at the Alte Almhaus, we hike back along the same path.

In winters with little snow, this tour is also a very beautiful winter hike.

There is no public transport connection to the starting point of the tour.
