Day 1 - to Keinprechthütte chalet via Giglachkar cirque
In the morning, take the first bus from Schladming via Rohrmoos to the starting point at Ursprungalm chalet. From there it is about one hour walk uphill via trail n° 771 to the Preuneggsattel mountain saddle and the Giglachseen Lake. Part of the trail to Giglachkar cirque is a historic Roman trade route.
Once you reach Giglachseehütte chalet you can walk either along the left bank (where Ignaz-Mattis-Hütte chalet is situated) or the right bank of the lakes to the trail junction at the lower end of the lakes. Follow trail n° 702 to the Vetternkar cirque until you reach the ruins of the historic miners' houses. Afterwards the path winds up to the left to the peak of Rotmandlspitze.
Depending on the season there might be some snowfields or rubble stone fields leading you to Krukeckscharte ridge. From there follow the trail downhill via switchbacks to Keinprechthütte chalet, where you stay overnight (we recommend to book accommodation in advance, Tel.: +43 664 43 30 346).
Day 2 - to Untertal valley via Trockenbrotscharte and Gollingscharte ridges
Strengthened by the breakfast you follow the trail n° 702 on the right side through the extensive cirque until you get to a trail junction. Continue left, and hike up to the wind gap of Trockenbrotscharte (2.237 m). From the top you can already see the next chalet - Landawirseehütte - which you will reach after approximately 30 minutes.
From there a wide trail takes you downhill to "Innerer Göriachwinkel", where you turn-off left and the path leads upwards to the wind gap Gollingscharte (2.326 m). You can also reach Gollingscharte on a more direct way from Trockenbrotscharte via trail n° 702A. However, this route often is only possible in late summer and fall when dangerous snowfields are completely gone.
At the Gollingscharte you have the choice to get to the top of the peak Hochgolling (2.863 m, an extra walking time of 3-4 hours). Surefootedness, a head for heights and alpine experience is required for the peak!
From the Gollingscharte the alpine path n° 702/778 no leads you downwards to Gollingwinkel - a mystic but beautiful alpine pasture, resembling a natural amphitheatre. After 15 minutes walk you get to the Gollinghütte chalet from where you walk approximately 1.5 hours to the end point of the hiking tour at Seeleiten car park in Untertal. From there take the Planai bus back to Rohrmoos and Schladming. If you have some time left while waiting on the bus, have a coffee or an ice cream at Almgasthaus Riesachfall.
