A fine snowshoe hike up to the "little brother" of Grimming, which rewards you with a magnificent view of the Ennstal.

In summer this hike is one of the classics in the region. Above all sunrises let you experience the sunrise with a brought breakfast especially romantic. Even in winter, this tour at the foot of the Grimmings loses nothing of its charm and invites you to spend hours full of movement in nature.

Along this hike you will find the Natur.Kraft.Plätze. ‘Neuhaus church ruins’ and “Trautenfels Castle”. You can find more information at www.schladming-dachstein.at/naturkraftplaetze

More information

On the Ennstalbundesstraße (B320) turn off at Trautenfels and then take a road uphill to Schloss Trautenfels.

Shortly after the start, you will cross a bridge (the Ennstalbundesstraße below you) and pass the Moarhof - the organic farm and the headquarters of the Bioinstitute of the HBLFA Raumberg-Gumpenstein. Follow the path and after a leisurely hour on meadow and forest paths you will reach the Grimminghütte. You will surely find a place to take a break, even if only in front of the hut, since the hosts are in the valley in winter and the hut is closed. After a short break you turn right and then walk uphill through the forest towards Tressenstein. Shhh, if you are very quiet there, you might well meet a chamois. Once you have reached the summit cross, you will have a wide view over the whole valley.

A short detour to the excavation site of the church ruin Neuhaus - a few hundred meters after the castle Trautenfels.

Take the bus 940/941 to the bus stop "Schloss Trautenfels".
