Hiking Hochwurzen to Roßfeld and Guschen

31. Jan 2012 | Tags: Sommer, Sport, Wandern

One of the great hikes around Hochwurzen leads to Roßfeld with the option of continuing to the Guschen. The path leading up to Roßfeld is an outdoor educational trail [in German].

Roßfeld is a broad plateau with a beautiful panoramic view of the Schladminger Tauern Mountains and the Dachstein Massif. The summit plateau is a perfect place to take a quick break, have a picnic or contemplate the wonders of the universe. For hikers looking for more, the expedition can then continue on to Guschen.

Recommended Route: Beginning at the top station of the Hochwurzen Gondola, you walk down to the parking lot, follow a well-marked path to the Hüttecksattel. Then you walk uphill on a wide switchback trail to Roßfeld all the way up above the tree line.

Walking time: beginning on top of Hochwurzen about 1 hour

Good hiking boots and appropriate hiking clothing recommended
