Actually, this hike would be an enjoyable tour on its own. In connection with the BergZeitReise, however, this variant to the main trail additionally represents a scenic highlight of the entire tour.

We start from the natural jewel Grüner See and walk through the picturesque Klammboden. At the so-called Plotschboden we keep slightly to the right (short insurance) to the Häuslalm, an institution in the Hochschwab area. From the Häuslalm, the trail then continues downhill, in the face of the mighty rock falls of the Zinken, to the Bodenbauer.

Tip: be sure to visit the Hochschwab Museum at the Bodenbauer!

Author’s recommendation

From 15.9. - 15.10. every year the huts around the Sonnschienalm are closed for hunting and forestry reasons. The hiking trails can be walked, but then there is a lack of overnight accommodation.

Therefore, here is a tip for the problem-free walking of the BergZeitReise also in the time of the hunting closure.

"Unintended" additional benefit - so we can also visit the Green Lake, voted in 2014 as the most beautiful place in Austria.

Turn-by-turn directions

From Tragöß we hike in a northerly direction until we reach the so-called "Klammboden", an idyllic and easy to cross rocky gorge.

At a fork in the trail (point 1,005m), we take the right-hand path and hike somewhat steeper uphill to the Scheideck, which is rich in views. From here we descend again to the Heinzleralm or to the neighboring Joseralm (tip: visit the Josersee!).

From here, a wide road leads us downhill to Alpengasthof Bodenbauer, our overnight accommodation for today.

Tip: from Klammboden you can also hike to Bodenbauer via Klammboden, Plotschboden (short insurances) and Häuslalm, choosing the left variant.

This trail variant is much more scenic, but also about 3 hours longer than the main trail.
