Short hike to the beautiful hut village in Tuchmoar.

The real attraction of this not-too-far hike is the hill-country lifestyle led at theTuchmoaralm, where traditional alpine huts are still staffed, and milk is turned into butter and cheese. Once things get underway, they can barely wait to return home to their barns in the valley! During the summertime, the sound of cowbells fills the pastures, the cows are milked early morning and late afternoon, the power of the stream helps turn the cream into butter, which is then pressed into decorative moulds, Bread spread with fresh butter and Styrian cheese is a true treat! You should also definitely try the rye doughnuts with Styrian cheese, which are the No. 1 specialty of the Sölktäler and Ennstaler Almen!

Parking area at the wayside cross

Starting from the parking lot, you hike uphill along the wide forest path through the forest flanks. Only in the last third does the old alpine path lead through the forest to the first alpine meadows with the scattered huts.

In the area of the Tuchmoaralm you can meet free-roaming grazing cattle. Caution is required, especially with dogs.

Weather changes, rapid drop in temperature, thunderstorms, wind, fog and snow fields are objective dangers and require the right behavior on the way. Hut keepers are experienced mountain connoisseurs, they can give good tips on the weather and the course of the trail. Lack of equipment, overestimation of one's own abilities, carelessness, poor physical condition and a wrong assessment can lead to critical situations. During thunderstorms: avoid peaks, ridges and rope belays at all costs.

GPS data and orientation aids:Available GPS data - as well as hiking maps - are only an orientation aid, since they can never represent an exact image or the richness of detail of a path in reality. Especially in the case of danger spots, it must therefore always be decided in the end on the basis of the conditions on site whether and how the further course of the path looks like.

In case of emergency, please dial the following emergency numbers:140 - for alpine emergencies - Austria-wideNo.112 - Euro emergency call GSM emergency call service

Take rainproof and warm clothes and enough water, possibly also a snack, wear shoes with non-slip profile soles. A first aid kit should also be in your backpack.
