Gnanitztal hike to the huts at Gnanitz alp
Easy hike to the huts in the Gnanitztal and on the Gnanitzalm.
Beautiful hike along the Grimming river into the Gnanitztal. The wide forest path leads you through the forest and always offers direct access to the water of the torrent. Finally you reach the beautiful, open alpine area of the Gnanitzalm with several alpine huts. On this tour, the Böhmhütte, Johnsleitner Hütte and Hechlhütte invite you to stop off.

More information
From the B145 Salzkammergut Bundesstraße, exit in Klachau and continue towards Tauplitz. Turn right on the Tauplitzer bypass around the village and at the upper end of the village onto Gnanitzweg. Follow this to the Gretlhütte car park.
Behind the barrier at the Gnanitztal/Gretlhütte car park, follow the forest road to the east (trail #2). Right at the start you hike past the unmanaged Gretlhütte, which is structurally a real eye -catcher. We continue into the valley, always in the immediate vicinity of the Grimmingbach. You will soon reach the Böhmhütte, the first place to stop for refreshments. At the trail fork immediately afterwards you make a right and cross the bridge over the Grimming river. After just a few minutes the Gnanitz alpine area opens up in front of you. There are several alpine pastures and huts here, whereby the Hechlhütte and Johnsleitner Hütte invite you to stop.
A little further ahead you twist off the Almweg in front of the Fürtscher Hütte (unmanaged). You cross the Stubenbach and get up to a way crossing directly on a bridge over the Grimmingbach. You now go left over the bridge and follow the forest path back out of the valley. Shortly before the Böhmhütte the path closes back to the route you know from the way there. On this it goes back to the starting point.
The starting point is not directly accessible to the public by train or bus. However, you can get to the starting point with the Salzkammergut Shuttle Service:
