Eine Tagestour am Großen Welt-Raum-Weg bis zur Ischler Hütte

The Great World-Space-Way is a journey in seven stages, through fourteen listening and experience spaces: from the bathroom to the parish church in Bad Ischl, across alpine pastures to the stone desert of the Totes Gebirge and back to everyday life.

Even the first stage of the Great World Space Trail to the Ischler Hütte is a special experience. This short stage gives you a good idea of what the trail as a whole has in store.

How can I feel the future? The Great World Space Path is a precisely composed audio piece that gently leads us from our seemingly perfectly prepared world into a wild, radically pristine nature. Audio tracks on the smartphone act as waymarks. Composed voices in the headphones of people from alpine farming and science, dance and bioengineering, alpinism and spirituality merge with the listeners and nature to create spaces of experience.
A process like this takes time: the journey begins in the privacy of your own bathroom, then leads from the parish church in Bad Ischl in five to six day stages from mountain hut to mountain hut, from listening room to listening room. In the stone desert of the high alpine plateau, people and world space can come together - the basic prerequisite for shaping a sustainable future together. From the Rettenbachalm to the Stodertal valley, the trail runs through alpine terrain, with the associated challenges and risks.* The last station leads into everyday life - where the Great World-Space Trail really begins.

Safety instructions
*The Great World Space Trail leads in its entirety from the Rettenbachalm through alpine terrain. There are therefore the corresponding risks and dangers. It is the responsibility of everyone who walks the trail to check whether they have the necessary skills and knowledge to deal with the resulting dangers. Everyone is responsible for obtaining the necessary professional advice. Nature conservation regulations must be observed.
From the Ischlerhütte, only experienced mountaineers are advised to hike the trail unaccompanied and without a guide. At three points (Tracks 8, 9, 12), the Great World Space Trail makes detours into pathless terrain and leaves the marked paths. Track 8 leads into the immediate vicinity of an unsecured sinkhole. There is an increased risk of falling. Here, too, you walk at your own risk. In snowy conditions and outside of the huts' opening hours, it is not advisable to hike the trail. There is no telephone network over long distances in the Totes Gebirge and no emergency calls can be made without a telephone network. Take plenty of drinking water with you!
