A very varied route, whereby the trail through Talbachklamm gorge is suitable for prams. On the way you can grab a snack at Landalm Inn, Hotel Landauer or (in case you take the variante via Rohrmoos) at Rohrmooser Schlössl inn. Highlights are Talbachklamm gorge itself and lookout platforms in the gorge and in the village of Untertal.

Author’s recommendation

An alternative route from the village of Untertal takes you along the "Rohrmoos tour".

Turn-by-turn directions

You start your hike at the "Wild Waters" hiking trail head at the Kraiter car park in Schladming. You walk up the Talbachgasse and branch-off left at the wooden trail portal at the entrance to Talbachklamm gorge. The path now takes you uphill along the Talbach creek and after a frew meters you have the opportunity to experience the unbridled power of the Talbach from a dizzying height from a lookout platform - you are completely safe though. Now the trail ascends gently on a path suitable for prams and you make your way alongside the thunderous Talbach creek – uphill for ca. 45 minutes until you reach the village of Untertal. Here, another viewing platform at the confluence of Obertalbach and Untertalbach creeks invites for a break at the water as do Landalm Inn and Hotel Landauer.

From the hiking portal it goes back briefly on the same path, after the war memorial Untertal you now follow the Spreitzweg on the slopes of the Planai out of the valley. Along the little-used access road you have a beautiful view of the Rohrmoos and down into the gorge. At the end of the street you reach the Spreitzhof, where you now hike a somewhat steeper ravine down to "Grubegg" and back to the valley-side exit of the Talbachklamm.

Eine gemütliche Wanderung bei Nieselregen. Leider konnten wir in Untertal keinen Hinweis für einen weiterführenden Rundweg zurück ins Tal finden und mussten den gleichen Weg zurück.

Gut für Schlechtwetterspaziergang. Entlang der Thalbach ein eher langweilen breiter beständig ansteigenden Weg. Hat was von Wander (Spaziergang) Autobahn neben Fluss. Man kommt nur an einer Stelle überhaupt an das Wasser. Mit Kindern würde ich mir glaube ich etwas anderes suchen. Meinen wäre das zu langweilig.... Kann man als Rundeweg über den Spreitzweg gehen. Dafür würde ich an der ersten Wegeskreutzung auf der Wander Ausschilderung Untertal Dorf (über Spreitzweg) folgen. Da geht es erst über ordentlichen Anstieg durch den Wald und dann über Fahrweg nach Untertal. Dort dann zurück über den Talbachweg nach Schladming.

Ein schöner, einfacher Spazierweg mit gemächlicher Steigung, immer am rauschenden Fluss entlang, der bei uns besonders viel Wasser geführt hat und daher besonders spektakulär war. Rundweg war nicht möglich wegen Sperrung des Rückwegs, also sind wir den gleichen Weg am Fluss entlang zurück gegangen, was sicher kein Fehler war.
