More information

From Schladming take provincial highway L722 (Rohrmoosstraße road) to Rohrmoos and at the roundabout continue straight on through the village center of Rohrmoos (the small supermarket Kaufhaus Sieder is on the left in the village center). After approx. 500 m "Schwaigerweg" road turns off right. The trail head and car parking is directly at the turnoff on the left side (opposite of Apart & Suiten Hotel Weiden).
Past the Apart & Suiten Hotel Weiden and Hotel Schwaigerhof, you hike westwards along a beautiful meadow path. With the magnificent Dachstein massif in front of you, the path leads along lovingly designed fairytale figures and play equipment suitable for pushchairs to the ‘Hexenhäusl’. Along the way, Rapunzel, Fred Flintstone, the Bremen Town Musicians, Mother Hulda and the Frog King await the little guests.

From the Hexenhäusl, the trail leads to Haus Strobl, from where you follow the Lans-Strobl trail to Rohrmoosstraße. Follow the road briefly downhill to Haus Primps. After another 200 metres, cross the road and walk back along the forest path and meadow (a ski slope in winter) to the valley station of the Hochwurzen summit lift. - There is a connection to the Schwammerlweg trail here. You can also stop for refreshments here: at the Tauernalm or at the Familienhotel Austria .

From the valley station, walk past the Familienhotel Austria and to the left of the Hotel Waldfrieden along the beautiful meadow path back towards the Hotel Schwaigerhof and the starting point.

 
A snack pack is a must :). There are cosy places to stop for a snack along the way.
