Stoderzinken - Ahornsee Lake - Weißenbach

Wonderful hike with numerous vantage points!

Wonderful hike with numerous vantage points! Path nr.618 from the Stoderzinken to the Grafenbergalm (not serviced) is easy to do in the lower medium difficulty level and due to the small difference in altitude. Due to the constant uphill and downhill, you still need a certain level of fitness - especially from the Grafenbergalm to Weißenbach to the Kneipp facility, since it's always downhill here.

Main road (B320) until Gröbming - Stoderzinken

At the beginning you hike past the Rosemi Alm in a few minutes to the connection to the AV path nr. 675. It now goes uphill to the wayside cross near the Stoderhütte. From there you follow the road to the Brünnerhütte. There you turn sharp left and walk along path nr. 618, past the Notgasse junction. The next step is a steep climb and you reach the "mother-in-law's jump" - which offers a fabulous view of Lake Ahorn. It is worth taking a break here. Caution, the shortcut directly to Ahornsee and Weißenbach is not worthwhile and should only be used in exceptional cases. It is better to continue hiking to the Grafenbergalm and from there on path nr.668 eastwards downhill in the direction of Grafenbergsee and Ahornsee. We recommend that you take a long break at one of the lakes, because the descent to Weißenbach is steep and rocky in places. The hike here is moderately difficult and can be mastered with enough stamina and a little sure-footedness. When you reach the bottom of the valley at the Jagdhaus, it's worth taking a 5-minute detour to the Gradenbach waterfall before you hike out of the valley and treat your feet to a well-deserved cool-down and rest in the Kneipp facility.

A tour for the persistent walkers and don't forget the hiking sticks, a large part of the hike leads downhill.

  • Good footwear and free from dizziness.
