From the Putzentalalm (Tel. +43 664 9262200) the path leads us right from the start uphill towards Prebertörl, the highest point of this stage of the hiking route "From glacier to wine". Passing a hunting lodge, the path climbs steadily and becomes steeper as well as more challenging, because some scree slopes have to be mastered as well as the serpentine path that takes us to the Prebertörl with its 2,194 meters. The beautiful view back to the north into the Putzental valley in the Sölktäler Nature Park with the romantically situated Schwarzensee lake and to the south into the Prebertal valley with its abundance of water are, however, the reward for the challenging meters of altitude that we have covered in the last few hours.
From now on, we head steadily downhill through the Prebertal valley with its enchanting alpine meadows, past small waterfalls and mountain lakes, first to the Möslhütte (Tel. +43 664 9632670). Lisi Kleinferchner still manages her alp on the Möslalm at 1,600 m above sea level in the traditional way. Dairy cows, young cattle, goats and pigs truly spend a wonderful summer here in the Prebertal. Among their specialties are the many different types of cheese that they produce.
Afterwards we continue out of the valley, where we reach the Ebenhandlhütte (Tel. +43 664 6458353). This is also a good place to stop for a rest, as we still have about 5 km to go to Krakauhintermühlen, our stage destination. Via the Klausnerbergsäge we finally reach the small village Krakauhintermühlen, which is the western end of the Krakau. The two other villages on the plateau are Krakauschatten and Krakaudorf, which offer equally beautiful accommodations to recover us for the next day for the stage to St. Peter am Kammersberg in the best possible way.
