The tour
Hike through forest and for the most part along forest roads taking you to the "Gföll" between Planai and Hauser Kaibling mountains along the Dachstein-Tauern Panorama Trail 100.
Turn-by-turn directions
First take the Brandweg, then past the Schröckerhof and Asingerhof eastwards along Panorama Trail 100 through the forest where, after about 2 hours, you will reach the so-called "Gföllgraben". From there once again uphill to the Kemeterhof farm. Your return hike will backtrack along the same route. We would recommend bringing a small snack and drinks to enjoy along the way.

Security
Changes in weather patterns, quick falls in temperature, thunderstorms, wind, fog and snow are some of the dangers that can be encountered on a hiking tour. Hosts of alpine huts and mountain refuges have a lot of experience in the mountains and can give good advice about weather and the trails. Poor equipment, overestimation of one's own capabilities, carelessness, poor personal constitution and/or wrong judgement  can lead to critical situations. In case of thunderstorms: avoid summits, ridges and steel ropes.

GPS data and orienteering

Available GPS data - just like hiking maps - is only a guidance for orientation and can never depict a trail exactly with all its details. Especially at dangerous spots it is essential to judge on site how to proceed.

In an emergency please call:

  • 140 - for Alpine emergencies (all over Austria)
  • 112 - European GSM emergency number
