Here is all the information about the schedule, affected areas in the hiking area, technical details and contacts.

🗓️ From the beginning of July to the end of October 2025

⚠️ Important notice:
The Frauenkarlift will only be in operation on Saturdays and Sundays in July 2025.

Site plan Wurzeralm

Tip: For an undisturbed mountain experience, we recommend starting the themed circular trail "2 million years in 2 hours" in an anti-clockwise direction. This way, you can avoid the construction site traffic and reach the Brunnsteinersee lake and the continuing hiking trails in a relaxed manner.

From the mountain station of the Wurzeralm funicular, the hike leads via Brunnsteiner See to the Rote Wand alpine saddle, then continues to the summit of the Toter Mann.

Hike from the mountain station of the Wurzeralm down a gravel road which drops gradually to the Brunnsteinersee.

Now on a marked trail to the Rote Wand saddle, which rises steeply through a series of switchbacks. Hike past the Italienerloch until, on the south-east ridgeline, the hiking path from the Dümlerhütte feeds into our trail. Continue your steep ascent on a trail that is now rather slippery, coming to the high plateau of the Speikwiese. Briefly continue following the path towards Warscheneck, but you will soon leave it heading south to the Toter Mann (elev. 2137m).
