Grabneralm with Grabnerstein (1848 m)

Parkplatz Buchauer Sattel

From the  car park at the Buchauer Sattel (861m) you walk in a north-westerly direction across the meadow into the forest, from where you follow the markings (No. 636) and shorten the access forest road for the Grabneralm (1395m) again and again and reach it after 2 ½ hours. For the last two kilometres, however, you walk along the forest road. From the Grabneralmhaus the path is first flat, then a little steeper towards the northeast through mountain pines to the saddle at Zilmkogel (1588 m). From here the terrain becomes more alpine until you first come to cow troughs and then to a dilapidated barn. From here you have only a few meters to the summit (1848 m). The descent path is the same as the ascent path, unless you are a via ferrata enthusiast, in which case there is another variant: if you descend via the insured Jungfernsteig (difficulty A/B) to the Jungfernscharte (1718 m) and climb the following counter-ascent, you will reach the Admonterhaus (1724 m), an Alpine Club hut located at Grabnertörl. After refreshments there, you could walk to the summit of the Admonter Warte (1806 m), which is 10 minutes away, before you complete the small loop to the Grabneralm via the very well marked normal path and from there follow the ascent path to the Buchauer Sattel.
