An easy ski tour over forest roads and forests with a magnificent view.

Hahnalpl? Nobody says that here in Donnersbachwald. Because that's how the mountain is pronounced correctly: [HAU-AÜ-WÜ]. At the summit, it grants you an unexpected view as far as the Ennstal Alps and up to the Dachstein. Judging by the altitude of this easy tour, which leads along forest roads and through white forests, you would not expect such a panorama here.

This tour leads you from the Riedlerschranken over the forest road in a southerly direction into the Ebenbach valley. At the first bend you turn left into the forest, later to the right and climb further up a logging. Follow the forest road for a short distance before turning left into the sparse forest. Then another short flat section before you climb the ridge ridge (open terrain) to the summit with the help of hairpin bends.

The descent is via the ascent route.
