Imperial hike to the Hinteralm in the Mürzer Oberland Nature Park
A leisurely hike with no major ascents. The first part is a longer walk along a forest road, followed by a trek through beautiful alpine meadows and past protected moorland areas to the Hinteralm. From here, there is also the option to summit the nearby Spielkogel.

More information
From the parking lot, we first follow the wide forest road, gradually ascending in several turns, but never too steep, until we reach the "Eisernes Törl" (imperial hunting lodge).
From here, we turn left and follow a nearly level path along a high moor, leading to a large meadow. Now, follow the forest road right and ascend a bit steeper, eventually passing through a rock arch onto the alpine meadow of Hinteralm. In just a few minutes, we reach the Halterhütte, which is managed in the summer.
Return along the same route.
