Of course there is always an easier way on every mountain. With more than 500 km of hiking trails and one of the highest densities of mountain huts in the Eastern Alps, nothing stands in the way of a hiking experience lasting several days in the only Styrian National Park. The whole Gesäuse in one go is best experienced on the Gesäuse Hut Tour. From hut to hut and even completely flexible (no fixed places to stay overnight, numerous variations and completely mobile without your own car), the alpine Gesäuse is more beautiful than ever to hike.

Safety information

Mountain rescue emergency call: 140

From a technical point of view, the Gesäuse hut circuit has moderate difficulties, which are no problem for the sure-footed and experienced mountain hiker. All the stages run on mountain paths with red dots, which means that they are classified as moderately difficult hiking trails according to the classification of the Austrian Alpine Club. However, you should have a certain amount of mountain experience for the Gesäuse Hüttenrunde, as you will be hiking in mountains with altitudes up to 1,850 m.

Destination

Admont, Zentrum (636 hm)

Turn-by-turn directions

At the Rohrauerhaus you follow the signs to the Ardningalm and reach the Bacher Alm. Here you walk partly on the forest road and partly on hiking trails through the forest until you reach an open alpine pasture area under the Arlingsattel. Follow the forest road downhill to the Ardningalm. At the huts you choose the path to Ardning; from there you follow the cycle path in an easterly direction to Frauenberg.In Frauenberg you walk down the road to the Enns and cross it at the bridge Mödringbrücke. After 500m turn left into the field path to Admont. An idyllic path follows the Enns in the direction of the river to Admont. In Admont, pass the Fischlschwaigerteich pond to the main road, which will quickly lead you to your starting point.

Equipment

For the Gesäuse hut tour, "normal" equipment for alpine hikes on unpaved paths is completely sufficient. In any case, we recommend sturdy shoes and telescopic walking sticks to take the strain off the knees on the sometimes longer descents. For all refuges along the trail you should also bring a sleeping bag and a towel.  Since the huts where you will be staying overnight on your trail trip are very remote and high up in the mountains and cannot be reached by the luggage shuttle, we cannot offer any luggage transport for the Gesäuse Hut Tour. We therefore recommend that you pack your rucksack sparingly and only take what is really necessary with you to the Gesäuse Hüttenrunde. It can be quite liberating to be on the way without luxury!
