Tour description

Interested visitors can gain exciting and informative insights into the flora of the Sölktäler at numerous stations along the way.

The trail starts at the Moditzerhütte parking lot on the eastern side of the valley. First you walk along the farm access road to the Moditzer farmstead, where you walk through the middle of the farm to the alpine access road. You now hike steadily uphill along the alpine access road through the forest until you reach the Knallalm. Here, the Moditzerhütte invites you to take a leisurely break. Return to the starting point via the same route.

The opening hours of the Moditzeralmhütte can be found here.

Tip: The Trogermühle, the only intact mill in the Sölktäler, can be easily reached in approx. 10 minutes from the Moditzerhütte parking lot. In the summer months, you can watch the mill work and see how the grain is ground into flour.

Weather changes, rapid drop in temperature, thunderstorms, wind, fog and snow fields are objective dangers and require the right behavior on the way. Hut keepers are experienced mountain connoisseurs, they can give good tips on the weather and the course of the trail. Lack of equipment, overestimation of one's own abilities, carelessness, poor physical condition and a wrong assessment can lead to critical situations. During thunderstorms: avoid peaks, ridges and rope belays at all costs.

GPS data and orientation aids: Available GPS data - as well as hiking maps - are only an orientation aid, since they can never represent an exact image or the richness of detail of a path in reality. Especially in the case of danger spots, it must therefore always be decided in the end on the basis of the conditions on site whether and how the further course of the path looks like.

In case of emergency, please dial the following emergency numbers:
No. 140 - for alpine emergencies - Austria-wide
No. 112 - Euro emergency call GSM emergency call service

Take rainproof and warm clothes and enough water, possibly also a snack, wear shoes with non-slip profile soles. A first aid kit should also be in your backpack.
