Mountain tour - Scheinbergjoch (basin circular route Hasental)

From the large winter parking lot at Scheinberg in the rear Graswangtal, you hike into the Sägerbachtal. Initially, you continue along a forest road beside the Sägerbach until, after about 1.5 hours and 300 meters ascent, you leave the mountain forest.

The climb along the somewhat tedious forest motorway will later reward you with solitary mountain trails and dreamlike views.

Across meadows with old deciduous trees you reach the Bäckenalmstattel. Turning right you would reach the Feigenkopf to the Große Klammspitze, or straight ahead to the Kenzenhütten. However, you take the left mountain path.

After a shorter ascent, you reach the edge of the Kesselwand. Your gaze sweeps over a huge basin, similar to a volcanic crater. Usually, a small lake forms here in summer or with enough precipitation.

You hike down into the basin to climb back up on the opposite side to the basin edge and the highest point, the Scheinbergjoch.

From the Scheinbergjoch, you do not descend into the basin but go in the opposite direction downhill to the Lösertaljoch. At the Lösertaljoch, you follow the Lösertalgraben downhill across open meadows, cross the Hasentalgraben in the forest, and then rejoin the ascent path in the Sägertal.

Follow this forest road back to the starting point in the Graswangtal.
