Winter hike Krapflhof Runde
Winter Hiking
· Schladming-Dachstein
A moderately difficult circular hike high above Donnersbach, where the Grimming almost does not let you out of sight.
easy
Distance 5.7 km
At the beginning in uphill turns, past old-established farms, the path finally leads you through the forest and across white meadows back into the valley. Grandiose views are guaranteed and the rest at a small hay barn (almost at the end of the hike) is a small and fine source of strength.
Author’s recommendation
The Gasthof Krapflhof is open daily and invites you to stop in.

Turn-by-turn directions
From the parking lot you cross the road and walk along the marked hiking trail (No. 3) over several hairpin bends uphill towards Erlsberg. At the fork in the road after the farm "Moar in der Gassn", turn right to the Krapflhof farm. Continuing along the road, you will again pass two farms. Keep to the markings, then you can't miss the turnoff to the right. On a field path straight ahead to a piece of forest, turn right again at the fork. From then on, the trail leads you through the forest and across snow-covered meadows back to the village and along the sidewalk back to the starting point.
