The tour

All beginnings are yay! You are a greenhorn? Then this should be the first voyage for your new skis. Because here an extremely comfortable forest road brings you up to a very scenic alpine pasture.


Turn-by-turn directions

From the parking lot of the Spechtensee hut, walk the short distance back to the road and follow it further east slightly downhill. After about 800 meters turn left onto the road in the direction of Bärenfeichtenalm. Easy and only slightly ascending, the path leads you in several hairpin bends up to the Bärenfeichtenalm.

Getting there
From the Ennstalbundesstraße B320 in Trautenfels direction Ausseerland turn onto the Salzkammergutstraße B145. Shortly before Tauplitz turn in the direction of Wörschachwald and follow the signs to Spechtensee. 
Unfortunately there is no public transport to Wörschachwald.
Parking
Free parking at the parking lot near the Spechtensee hut.
