Ebenforstalm - Trämpl

Description:
Starting/End point:

Parking lot Scheiblingau in the valley of the Krumme Steyrling. Access from Molln (18 km).



It's so green - no wonder in a national park! But hidden in the green are special features: mysterious springs, carnivorous plants, or holes where entire streams disappear... On the Ebenforstalm, an idyllic high pasture in the west of the Hintergebirge, all this becomes visible on an educational trail. The hiking pleasure already begins down at the Krumme Steyrling:

We walk on the gravel road past an old timber floating sluice into the tiny settlement of Bodinggraben. Next to the renovated Anna Chapel, down-to-earth delicacies attract in the historic hunter's house, which belonged to the nearby hunting lodge of the Counts Lamberg. Here we turn left and hike on path no. 472 through the Bodinggraben – the many eroded ponds of the stream were called Boding – up to the Ebenforstalm. Here, at the foot of Trämpl and Alpstein, the themed trail Wool Grass, Alpine Pasture, and Water Sinkholes begins. On the gently descending forest road, you soon learn interesting facts about the springs and the rock of the alpine pasture. From the Karst information board, turn right onto a path that partly runs on boardwalks to a water sinkhole. Across a beautiful wool grass meadow, you reach the Ebenforster Moor. Its up to 2 m deep peat moss cushions began to grow 7,800 years ago. We continue to the tree hotel, where many endangered animal species feel comfortable in the deadwood. Soon the alpine hut is reached again, and by now a hearty snack is definitely due. Strengthened this way, we briskly hike back down to the valley. Hikers with appropriate fitness will surely still add the Trämpl. The rocky summit is much easier to climb than it looks from below: from the saddle west of the alpine pasture, a good path leads south along the ridge into the forest slope and then left up to the summit cross.
