The tour

EXCITING. On a forest road and an old alpine path, the route leads uphill to this delightful little cauldron in the midst of alpine slopes. After a refreshment, definitely also up to the Michelirlingsee or also on the Hühnereck. It is worth it.

More information

Turn-by-turn directions

The tour starts at the chapel above the Perweinhfarm, where you can also park. It runs alternately on forest roads and forest paths. Follow the markings, past the Plotscheralm, up to the Michelirlingalm. Here also runs a stage of two long-distance hiking trails no. 02 and 09.

From the Michelirlingalm you have the possibility to continue hiking, to the right of the alp, first across a meadow, then over a steep path up to the Michelirlingsee (20 min). From there, turn right again in the direction of Hühnereck (30 min). The summit can already be seen from below.

To the left of the alpine pasture, after the plain, a path goes uphill in the direction of Schoberspitze (1 hr.).

Equipment

Plan your tour in advance, taking into account walking time, route length, altitude difference, danger spots and weather forecast.Together is much more beautiful and at the same time safer in the mountains.
Do not go alone, if possible, and adapt the tour to the ability of your group.
Let them know where you are going and when you want to be back. Also sign hut or summit books.
Turn back in good time if the weather deteriorates. If you get caught in a thunderstorm, do not stay on the summit or ridge and stay away from individual trees. Wait out the storm, if possible in a crouching position.
Stay on the marked trails and remember to close pasture fences again.
Getting up the trail is only half the battle. Stay alert, especially on the descents, to make it back to the valley safely.In case of emergency, keep calm and call the mountain rescue on 140. If you have no reception, take out the sim card and dial 112.
If you encounter cows: It is best to pass above the herd with at least 50 meters distance. Stay calm, don't make any frantic movements and don't run away. Do not imitate cow sounds and do not try to pet the animals. A stick and loud shouting can often make the animals turn back in an emergency.
If you are a dog owner: Clarify before the hike if you have to cross a pasture. Keep your dog on a leash and make sure he stays calm. If a cow attacks, let the dog off the leash immediately. Never pick him up to defend him.
You can get detailed information on "Safe Mountain Hiking" from the Alpine Club. At www.alpenverein.at you can inform yourself comprehensively about it.

In your weatherproof backpack belong: Sun and rain protection, warm, windproof clothing, drinks and provisions, small first aid kit, hiking map and a fully charged cell phone. Suitable footwear goes without saying.

Author’s recommendation

There is no managed hut at the top. But for an enjoyable rest with self-brought snack you will always find a fine place here.
