Preintalerhütte - Putzentalalm | Schladminger Tauern Trail Alternative
This tour is an alternative for the 5th stage of the 7-day tour on the Schladminger Tauern Höhenweg. This option makes sense if you are staying overnight at the Putzentalalm.
This route gives you some time to spend some time at the beautiful mountain lakes in the Schladminger Tauern. The Sonntagskarseen invite you to take your first long break with the spectacular surrounding mountain panorama. From the Rettingscharte you have a great view of the Schwarzensee and once you get there you can let time stand still for a bit and enjoy the wonderful mountain lake landscape.

More information
From Schladming take provincial highway L722 (Rohrmoosstraße road) to Rohrmoos and at the roundabout continue on provincial highway L723 (Tälerstraße road) to Untertal village. At the end of the village keep left on "Untertalstraße" road and follow it to the valley head of Untertal valley at Seeleiten car park.
From the Preintalerhütte and Waldhornalm you follow path #784 to the Sonntagskarseen. After just over an hour you will reach the lower of the two lakes, which lie in the middle of an impressive mountain basin. The path continues on the north bank of the lake and a good half an hour later you reach the Oberer Sonntagskarsee. From there, past the east bank, you climb the gravelly path to the striking cut of the Rettingscharte. The view down to the Schwarzensee in the Kleinsölktal is magnificent. Now it goes downhill into the Steinigboden until you finally reach the Schwarzensee at the waterfall near the Schwabalm.
At the southern tip of the Schwarzensee, the forest path branches off to the right to the Putzentalalm. If you want, you can hike there directly. In any case, we recommend that you spend a while at the lake and take a walk around the lake, past the Harmeralm and the Jägeralm. Great photo opportunities included! Along the forest path you can reach the Putzentalalm from Schwarzensee in about 45 minutes.
Depending on where you stay overnight - Breitlahnhütte or Putzentalalm - there are alternative transition options from the Preintalerhütte to Kleinsölktal.
The starting point at the Preintalerhütte can only be reached by hiking. You can reach the Preintalerhütte in a hike of approx. 2 hours from the Seeleiten car park in Untertal. This can be reached with the valley bus number 974 of the Planai buses: www.planaibus.at
Seeleiten car park at the valley head of Untertal.
There is a parking fee on the public parking spaces in Untertal valley.
