Advent circular hiking trail

<p>The circular hiking route starts between the Hengsthütte and the Schneebergbahn stop along the "old" Hengstweg, following the red and then the blue markings towards the Ternitzerhütte. Upon reaching the Ternitzerhütte, the hiking trail leads directly opposite through a small forest to the Kaltwassersattel, then turns left again to the Baumgartner stop. The walking time is approximately/minimum 1 hour and 30 minutes depending on snow conditions. We also recommend snowshoes, which you can rent at the valley station of the Schneebergbahn if snow conditions require it. The Advent circular hiking trail is not a cleared winter hiking trail.</p><p>At the Baumgartner stop, you walk back in the same direction as you came. At the Kaltwassersattel, the path leads straight ahead and along the green marking "Upper" Hengstweg back to the Hengsthütte. The walking time is - again depending on snow conditions - about 1 hour.</p><p>Of course, there is also the option to take the Schneebergbahn to the Baumgartner stop and walk only 1 section of the hike to the Hengsthütte.</p>

<p>High mountain boots, possibly gaiters and poles (snow conditions), as well as warm jacket, hat and gloves.</p>

<p>The hike takes place between 1000 m and 1400 m above sea level in December! Please note the dusk times (approx. 4:00 p.m.), as well as weather and snow conditions.</p>
