Sometimes very hot in summer. It is easy to get lost in fog or snowstorms. **Quality of experience:** ***** **Recommended season:** - April - May - June - July - August - September - October **Properties:** - Multi-stage route - Scenic - Refreshment stops available **Description:** The crossing of the western **Höllengebirge** requires sure footing and good fitness, as it involves several ascents and descents. But the landscape you pass between the **Rieder Hütte** and the frequently visited **Hochleckenhaus** is truly unique. On clear days, you enjoy wide views of the mountain world of the Salzkammergut. **Directions:** From the **Rieder Hütte** follow path no. 820 a few steps north, stay left at the junction to Eiblgupf and descend into the Große Eiblgrube. Its floor is bypassed to the south, then the descent path from Eiblgupf joins by a large rock block. Next, continue around the larch-covered north side of the **Brunnkogel** (1,779 m) (steel cable). Under the cliffs falling off to the right - below the path - of Hirschlucke lies the Hinterer Langbathsee. Before the next hollow (1,500 m) you pass a spring. Afterwards, ascend between larches and through small rock gorges, past rock falls and a large sinkhole up to the ridge of **Grünalmkogel** (1,821 m). Its highest point is bypassed on the right. Continue along the southwest ridge to just before the **Pfaffengrabenhöhe** (1,691 m). From there, descend on the right through steep larch slopes (and over 337 meters of elevation) into the long Pfaffengraben. From this larch-covered valley dividing the central from the western part of the Höllengebirge, you have to ascend almost the same altitude again until you meet the Schafluckensteig beside the inconspicuous **Jägerköpfl** (1,668 m). To the left, you pass through another larch hollow to the **Hochleckenhaus** (1,572 m) about 4:30 h Continuing on path nos. 820/04/06, descend westwards from the shelter over the open slope of the Griesalm—water is collected here on the flat shed roof of the stable. At the nearby junction for the route to Brennerin, turn right onto path no. 823, which leads down to Antoniusbründl and the “Gatterl.” Left beside the rock towers of the **Adlerspitzen** (1,241 m) you reach the junction with the Valerieweg and thus stage 2 of the Salzkammergut Trail. On this route, turn left to Auboden-Jagdhütte and to **Steinbach am Attersee** (509 m). About 2:30 h **Tip:** Summit detour to Brunnkogel (1,708 m) **Safety guidelines:** - In alpine terrain, be aware of the danger of falling rocks. - Until early summer, you may encounter steep snowfields or firn gullies—especially in icy conditions there is acute danger of falling and thus risk to life! - Due to storm damage, forestry work, or construction, some trail sections may temporarily be difficult or impossible to pass. - Cows on the alpine pastures are often curious. Due to cow-calf management, they develop a strong instinct to protect their calves. So move calmly on cow pastures, keep at least 20 m distance from the animals, and do not pet calves! If threatened (pawing, stamping), back away slowly (do not turn your back). Keep dogs on a leash; they must not bark at or chase cows. In an attack, you must definitely let them off the leash. **Equipment:** For all stages you need hiking or mountaineering boots with lug soles and wind- and rainproof clothing. Spare clothes for changing and a small first aid kit should also be in the backpack. How much food you pack depends on the number of places to stop. In any case, you should take enough to drink. Telescopic poles are especially helpful when going downhill. **Additional information:** Courtesy of the text provided by the [KOMPASS](https://kompass.at) publishing house and Wolfgang Heitzmann.

Weitere Arbeiten im Aussenbereich werden noch in den nächsten Jahren andauern. Für den Zustieg zur Rieder Hütte sind alle Wege bestens markiert und beschildert. Die Beschreibungen findest Du hier. Als Tagesgast erwartet Dich eine traditionelle Hüttenküche, die großteils aus vegetarischen Gerichten besteht. Aber auch Veganer und Fleischesser kommen nicht zu kurz. Im Sommer wie im Winter steht Dir ein Gastgarten mit wunderbarem Blick auf den Großen Höllkogel zur Verfügung. Doch auch beim Schlechwetter genießt Du aus der gemütlichen Gaststube eine herrliche Sicht auf unseren Hausberg. Hast Du noch Fragen, dann melde Dich einfach bei mir per Mail oder Whatsapp; telefonisch bin ich eher schwer zu erreichen, schlechter Empfang und persönliche Kommunikation mit meinen Gästen. Ich rufe aber auch gerne zurück. Für die Reservierung bitte ich Dich, das Reservierungsprogramm des Alpenvereines zu nutzen. Für eine Übernachtung mit Hunden sende mir, bitte, zusätzlich zur Reservierung eine Mail. Ich freue mich schon auf Deinen Besuch bei mir auf der Rieder Hütte.
