Tour description

Already at 1,890 meters we start this high-altitude hike with a very special character. We march through a beautiful light larch forest before a dark spruce forest surrounds us a little later. The path high above the Ahornsee lake is characterized by a unique humpback landscape with beautiful clearings. Again and again we enjoy the beautiful views. A wonderful place to rest is offered to us in the idyllic alpine basin of the Grafenbergalm, before we continue on to the magnificent view peak Kufstein.

Map, elevation profile & further information

Our hike begins from the Stoderzinken parking lot at the end of the (toll) Alpine road in Gröbming. Trail no. 675 initially leads us slightly downhill to the Brünner Hütte, from where we hike westwards through the “Brandner Urwald” forest (trail no. 618). We follow a narrow forest path, which first leads steadily downhill and then gently up and down through wide hollows, then over humps and small rocky lanes, until we reach the hill above the Ahornsee lake. In the last quarter, we hike very close to the edge of the precipice high above the Grafenbergsee. We reach the Grafenbergalm pasture basin via beautiful alpine meadows. From here, we decide to take trail no. 667 to the highest point of our hike, the Kufstein (2,049 m). We descend via the Stornalm. At the Schartl we stick to trail no. 666 and end our hike in Weißenbach bei Haus.

Ennstalbundesstraße (B320) to Gröbming - from there follow the approx. 12 km long toll Stoderzinken AlpenstraßeParking area at the end of the Stoderzinken Alpenstraße

Very beautiful viewpoints and a many-faceted alpine flora, especially at the beginning of summer.
