The green nine - around the Mußbachalm

Your hike begins in Hinterthal at the Dreifaltigkeitskirche church. Cross the bridge and keep to the enchanting path no. 415, which meanders along the picturesque Urslau river. After around 30 minutes, you will reach a true natural wonder - the impressive Triefen waterfalls, which will enchant you with their majestic beauty. We recommend taking a short break here and enjoying the impressive panorama. Continue your journey in the direction of Poschalm and Mußbachalm. Continue along the idyllic path no. 415 until you reach a crossroads after a few leisurely minutes' walk. Cross the picturesque wooden bridge and follow trail no. 431, which takes you gently uphill to the Poschalm. This alpine pasture, although not managed, rewards you with a breathtaking view of the surrounding mountain landscape that will leave you speechless. The trail then leads you along a narrow forest path (trail no. 436) and then along a gravel road to the Kräuteralm Mußbachalm. Here you can relax with a well-earned refreshment and savour the alpine atmosphere to the full. Strengthened and refreshed, continue your hike comfortably on trail no. 401a towards Hinterthal while admiring the marvellous landscape around you.

Self-assessment: Check your physical fitness before every mountain tour and correctly assess your strength as well as that of your companions - especially those of your children! Surefootedness and a head for heights are often very important!
Planning and preparation: Plan each intended mountain tour in detail beforehand. Hiking maps and guides as well as information from alpine associations and local experts such as mountain guides and mountain hut keepers can be helpful.
Equipment: On the mountain, you will need appropriate equipment and clothing, especially sturdy, high shoes with good grip soles. Weather and cold protection are essential, as the weather can often change unexpectedly.
Weather forecasts: Take note of the current weather conditions at: www.zamg.at
Together Follow the 10 rules for the correct handling of grazing animals and do not leave any waste in nature!
Do not kick stones: Do not kick stones as this can seriously endanger other hikers. Marked places with a danger of falling rocks should be crossed as quickly as possible and with attention and caution.
Turn back in good time: This is not a disgrace, but a sign of common sense. It becomes necessary when the weather changes, fog rolls in, and also when the path is too difficult or not in good condition.
