The tour
The cable car helps us a few hundred meters up to the middle station. There we get off and walk to the left into the larch forest and flat over to the Finsterkaralm. At the Finsterkarsee, the decision for a first rest is easy. Steadily and in the end in serpentines we reach the ridge that accompanies us from now on. The Finsterkarspitz is inconspicuous and is taken along pathless but offers a fascinating deep view of the Finsterkarsee. At Gr. Bärneck we have reached the highest point and certainly one of the best viewpoints. For the further course there are now three variants:
  1. Along the track via Silberkarspitz to Gstemmerscharte and there follow the markings towards Hinteren Mörsbachalm.
  2. Continue to the Mößnascharte and walk via the Vordere Mörsbachalm on the described route to the Hintere Mörsbachalm and there continue to follow the track (+7,1 km, +380 hm)
  3. Walk from the Vordere or Hintere Mörsbachalm directly to Donnersbachwald and back to the parking lot Riesneralm (+2,5 km
