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.

Hike from the mountain station to the Wurzeralm Standseibahn Gammeringsattel and the Gammeringalmen and through the plaster digging for Wurzeralm funicular base station.

From the mountain station of the Wurzeralm Standseibahn you walk straight down to the transformer and go right past the way up through the forest to. When you come out of the woods out you are already on the slopes of Hahnlgraben.

Turn left, following the path of the runway up to the Gammeringsattel where you already have a beautiful view of the mountains of Styria's Enns Valley. The road leads past the Krennbauernalm in the first Wegabzweigung go straight on and at the next fork to the left Gammeringalmen.

Then you come to the so-called "Christl chute" where the road branched several times. You walk down the street to the left and at the next junction, go right.

After about 50 meters turn left and follow the path along the runway in the always shady gypsum trench. This hike along until you reach the road next to the funicular. Now right and follow the road to the valley station of the funicular Wurzeralm.
