The historic route of the Proviantweg connected the Garstner Valley with the Styrian Eisenwurzen via the Hengstpaß in the heyday of the "Black Count". Now turn right towards Egglalm. At the second bridge and a hut, ascend the hollow path. Follow the slightly ascending forest road and enjoy the snowy landscape to the full. The alpine pastures are only open in summer. Take a right along the stream back to the starting point. **SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS:**- Tour suggestion - use at your own risk - Not guaranteed - A hiking map is recommended - Current [Note avalanche warnings](https://oberoesterreich.avalanche-warnings.eu/ "Link opens in new window") and the snow situation [ Tour and route information ](#ttgCollapseTourdetails) --------------------------------------------------------- **Starting place:** 4581 Rosenau am Hengstpaß **Destination:** 4581 Rosenau am Hengstpaß **duration:** 2h 0m **length:** 4,9 km **Altitude difference (uphill):** 136m **Altitude difference (downhill):** 139m **Lowest point:** 861m **Highest point:** 973m **difficulty:** easy **condition:** easy **panoramic view:** Some Views **Paths covering:** snow, Other **Starting point:** Car park below the Karlhütte **Destination:** Car park below the Karlhütte **further information:** - Circular route - Board possible [ ![Altitude profile Proviantweg snowshoe tour](//static.et4.de/ElevationProfileChart/Go.ashx?Experience=hoehenprofil-meta&Server=meta.tourdata.at&AddElevations=true&AddOfftrackWaypoints=false&AddSurfaces=true&AddWaypoints=false&globalid=tourdata_tour_430006336&width=355&height=250&FontSize=12&mkt=en) ![Altitude profile Proviantweg snowshoe tour](//static.et4.de/ElevationProfileChart/Go.ashx?Experience=hoehenprofil-meta&Server=meta.tourdata.at&AddElevations=true&AddOfftrackWaypoints=false&AddSurfaces=true&AddWaypoints=false&globalid=tourdata_tour_430006336&width=450&height=350&mkt=en) ](#ttgHoehenprofilModal "Proviantweg snowshoe tour") [ Arrival ](#ttgCollapseAnreise) ---------------------------------- **Accessibility / arrival**Car park directly on the Hengstpaßstraße below the Karlhütte [ Suitability ](#ttgCollapseEignung) -------------------------------------- **Most economical season**- Early winter - Deep winter [ Accessibility ](#ttgCollapseBarrierefreiheit) ------------------------------------------------- Please get in touch for more information.
