Stage 04 Luchs Trail Admont - Mödlingerhütte

Directions:
From the center of Admont, walk in a southerly direction past the monastery and cross the railroad tracks. Take the next road to the left (east) and keep right at the next junction (south) onto Oberhofweg. Now walk along trail marker 601, first through the avenue, then through open meadows towards Kematen and then on into the wooded Kematengraben. Crossing a path and several forest roads, you reach the source of the Steinernen Wirt at the foot of the Hahnsteinkante. Here the trail becomes increasingly scenic, leading through fields of mountain pines and finally ending in the meadows of the picturesque Scheiblegger Hochalm at 1,660 m above sea level.

From here, you do not take the "Jägersteig" trail to the south-east, which leads directly to the Klinkehütte, but is challenging in places and exceeds the difficulty of the Luchs Trail. Instead, choose the small marked Alpsteig trail, which leads south directly down towards Kaiserau. Descending steadily, you reach the high valley of the Kaiserau at its upper end at 1,220 m above sea level. From here, you hike uphill again to the east and reach the Klinkehütte in around an hour via a hiking trail - crossing the toll road once in the direction of the Klinkehütte. The last section of the day leads over the Kalblinggatterl down the Flitzengraben and on the other side back up to the Mödlingerhütte, where you have reached your destination for the day.
