Good, but in places different ways and paths.** From Ramsau, we hike on the forest road a few minutes to the left, until a path branches off, on which we reach the marked forest path No. 880 above the Kreuzgraben. This leads right through dense forest to another forest road, which we follow a few steps to the left. From a curve right again on the trail to a forest road junction, from which we get to the signpost to the nearby Iglmoosalm. Now our path climbs steeply through the forest and cuts off two roads; then we follow the forest road into a high valley. Soon we leave the track to the right and march on the old alpine path through rustic forest to the Schartenalm and up into a small saddle. On the left you will reach the Goiserer hut with a few steps. To the right of the saddle, on the other hand, is the summit platform No. 888. We follow it to the south, cross the hillside in front of the Kalmoskirche (cave) and climb the Hochkalmberg over a mountain pine ridge - past the contemplative face of the "Kalmberg-Indianers", which a mood of nature has modeled out of the summit rock. Descent on the same route. Rest options: Iglmoosalm, Goiserer hut [**Experience a 360° panorama tour through Gosau valley…**](https://dachstein-panorama.at/?startscene=27&startactions=lookat(19.49,5.61,100.3,0,0);) Mountain Rescue: 140 [ Tour and route information ](#ttgCollapseTourdetails) --------------------------------------------------------- **Starting place:** 4824 Gosau **Destination:** 4824 Gosau **duration:** 4h 12m **length:** 6,4 km **Altitude difference (uphill):** 999m **Altitude difference (downhill):** 89m **Lowest point:** 801m **Highest point:** 1.723m **difficulty:** medium **condition:** medium **panoramic view:** Great panorama **Paths covering:** Hiking trail **Starting point:** Gosau (parking area in ramsau) **Destination:** Hoher Kalmberg **further information:** - Board possible [ ![Altitude profile Tour to the Top of the Kalmberg](//static.et4.de/ElevationProfileChart/Go.ashx?Experience=hoehenprofil-meta&Server=meta.tourdata.at&AddElevations=true&AddOfftrackWaypoints=false&AddSurfaces=true&AddWaypoints=false&globalid=tourdata_tour_100312&width=355&height=250&FontSize=12&mkt=en) ![Altitude profile Tour to the Top of the Kalmberg](//static.et4.de/ElevationProfileChart/Go.ashx?Experience=hoehenprofil-meta&Server=meta.tourdata.at&AddElevations=true&AddOfftrackWaypoints=false&AddSurfaces=true&AddWaypoints=false&globalid=tourdata_tour_100312&width=450&height=350&mkt=en) ](#ttgHoehenprofilModal "Tour to the Top of the Kalmberg") [ Opening hours ](#ttgCollapseOeffnungszeiten) ------------------------------------------------ This hiking trail is, depending on the weather, accessible from May till October.
