Triebenkogel, the ski tour king of the Vordertriebental

From the parking lot Braun in a southwesterly direction across the meadow to the edge of the forest. There you meet the forest road, which leads along the Arlingbach. Briefly follow the forest road to follow the marked summer path shortly after the 1st right-hand bend. The old path turns left into the forest. Follow the path, which soon becomes wider, crosses forest road, but follows the marked summer path in the direction of Geierkogel/Sonntagskogel. The marked path leads us through the forest and at about 1480m joins a wide and flat forest road.

Follow this to the right until the yellow signs of the AV marking lead us to the left of the forest road.

Our route leads us to a large, flat meadow where an old alpine hut, the Kälberhütte, invites you to take a rest. After the Kälberhütte we stay on the forest road for a short time, leave it to climb up on the left side over a not very steep blow. At the end of this passage we get back to our forest road.

The reason for this trail cut is an avalanche path in the area of the prominent left bend of the forest road. A steep gully from the Kreuzkogel often carries avalanche snow onto the forest road in this area.

Once back on the forest road, we continue either on the road or with small shortcuts briefly through sparse forest and across a clearing to the forest road at about 1600m. We follow the forest road towards Braunkar between Geierkogel and Triebenfeldkogel.

As soon as road embankment is good to climb, we leave the forest road to the left side in the direction of Triebenfeldkogel. Now the route is to search through sparse forest, in the cropped terrain. There are many possibilities. The last 200 meters of altitude to the summit are a bit steeper, in the coppiced terrain you save the hairpin bends if the track is good. Keeping slightly to the left, you reach the summit of the Triebenkogel in a large right turn over the NW ridge.

In the last 200 meters of altitude, you reach a wildlife protection area in the eastern part. This area should not be entered and simply make the track after it.

Descent as ascent until the forest road at 1340m. After that it is better to stay on the forest road until the meadow behind the Braun farm.

Stop at the Brodjäger inn at the turnoff on the B114 (legendary trout for refreshment after the ski tour).

This tour is NOT considered "accessible by train and bus" because there is no regular connection.
