From the summer parking lot, we hike along a forest road past the Mörsbachwirt, always heading towards the end of the valley. Alternating between paths and roads, we keep to the right shortly before reaching the Hintere Mörsbachalm. Becoming steeper, the path leads in an almost direct line towards the Silberkarspitz across alpine pastures located to the right of our destination. One traverse and a short steep ascent later, we stand at the highest point of the Mörsbachtal. The return journey is either via the ascent route or, as described here, via the Silberkarspitze and along the ridge over to the Gstemmerscharte. Via path 02/09, the route leads back down through blueberry and alpine rose bushes to the Hintere Mörsbachalm and along the already familiar path back to the summer parking lot.

Litter on meadows and trails is something mountains and valleys cannot stand. Please take it with you. Agriculture and forestry are important partners for mountains and valleys. They allow you to walk and ride on many of their paths. Be aware that only a good partnership ensures your leisure enjoyment in the future.
