From the valley terminal of
Gipfelbahn Hochwurzen cable-car take the footpath dowhill to the so-called Schussbühel . Here you make a right and walk across a magically beautiful area known as the
“Rohrmooser Frei” and past the valley terminal of the
Obertalbahn cable-car. Soon after you reach the junction of “Rohrmoos-Südweg” road and “Knappenweg” road - the latter is the one you follow.
Before entering the forest at Holzbacher farm, you branch off left again, where the path takes you downhill across a meadow to the Ahornweg road. Make a left here and follow the road out of the valley until you reach the Tälerstraße road. Follow the footpath alongside the road, until you reach the village of Untertal. Just 100 m ahead you can warm-up yourself at Landalm Inn.
Once you reach the village of Untertal make a left onto “Lindenweg” road and then follow the trail through Talbachklamm gorge to Schladming. The wide footpath runs close at the banks of the Talbach creek.
The Talbachklamm is especially enchanting in winter due to its bizarre ice formations and trees and bushes covered with hoar frost. However, because it is close to the Talbach, the path is often icy. Therefore we recommend being particularly cautious on this path, as well as wearing suitable boots or shoes with spikes. After about 2.5 km from the fire station in Untertal, you will reach the town of Schladming close to the Protestant church.
