Donnersalpe

The hike to Donnersalpe is located in ERZBERG LEOBEN.
On the hike to Donnersalpe (1539m) you can enjoy wonderful views of Wildfeld and Stadelstein already on the ascent. Once you reach the summit, you are rewarded with an impressive mountain panorama. The view of the Kaiserschild, Seemauer, Hochblaser, Pfaffenstein, Polster, Eisenerzer Reichenstein and the unique Erzberg is extremely impressive and makes the Donnersalpe, despite its low altitude, a particularly rewarding viewpoint.

Thanks to the relatively low altitude, the hike to the Donnersalpe is an ideal family hike!

The so-called "waterfall trail" branches off directly at the bridge opposite the Gemeindealm (1018m) (signpost). Cross a meadow to the beginning of the steep forest belt, through which the marked trail leads in many hairpin bends to the tree-free ridge of the Donnersalpe (1539m).

Descent:

Descent from the summit of the Donnersalpe (1539m) on the marked trail (Almbodenm unpleasant "cow steps") to a forest road. Cross this and descend through the forest to the meadows and farms on Hohenegg (approx. 970m). Poorly marked in places, pay attention to signposts and markings. From Hohenegg on a shady forest path to Ramsau (865m), return to the starting point on an additional 2.8km road (45min.).

From the Gemeindealm car park at the panorama panel, we first hike into the valley over a bridge. Immediately afterwards, turn right across the pasture to the high forest; continue following the markings (Wasserfallsteig), up serpentines to a rest area. We continue through a forest to a flat alpine pasture, along which we climb slightly to the approaching summit.

After the hike you should take a break at "Gemeindealm" and enjoy some of their homemade sepcialities.
