Alpine route to Huberalm and Königsbergalm

From the bus stop or the parking lot "Keilbrücke" (Fischerstüberl, closed!) you walk a short distance along the goods road until the second left turn towards Huberalm. Follow forest road no. 60 to the junction to Huberalm. Here a field path leads further to Huberalm. Don't forget to stop by, because the Huberalm is the oldest alpine pasture in Dienten am Hochkönig. Inside the hut you find a traditional smoke kitchen, which is sometimes still in operation. The Huberalm produces its own cheese, which you can also buy in the valley AB-HOF. From Huberalm, a beautiful forest path no. 59c leads towards Königsbergalm. At a T-junction, keep left on path no. 59a to Königsbergalm (possibility to stop for a break). From there, it goes back down the forest road (path no. 59a) and along the goods road (path no. 59) past numerous farms back to the starting point.

Self-assessment: Before each mountain route, check your physical fitness and correctly assess your strength as well as that of your companions – especially your children! Sure-footedness and a head for heights are often very important!

Planning and preparation: Plan every intended mountain route carefully in advance. Hiking maps and guides as well as advice from alpine clubs and locals such as mountain guides and hut hosts can be helpful.

Equipment: In the mountains, you need appropriate equipment and clothing, especially sturdy, high shoes with a good grip sole. Weather and cold protection are indispensable, as weather can often change suddenly.

Weather forecasts: Observe the current weather conditions at: zamg.at or www.uwz.at.

Togetherness: Observe the 10 rules for proper interaction with grazing animals and leave no waste in nature!

Do not kick stones away: Do not kick stones away, as this can seriously endanger other hikers. Marked areas with risk of falling rocks should be crossed as quickly as possible with attention and caution.

Turn back in time: This is not a disgrace but a sign of common sense. It becomes necessary if the weather changes, fog sets in, or if the path is too difficult or not in good condition.
