Saalachtaler Circular Route - 1st Hiking Day

At the valley station Huggenberglift you can take the chairlift up to Huggenberg or follow the farm road on foot. The first goal is the Berggasthof Biberg. Then continue via the Saalachtaler Höhenweg No. 773 towards Sausteige/Jahnhütte along the ridge to the summit of Durchenkopf, towards Haiderbergkogel. Here follow the sign No. 774 to Sausteige and leave the Saalachtaler Höhenweg. Then you reach the summit cross of Sausteige. With a view of Lake Zell, the descent to "Maishofen" now follows via Gstallneralm, Gadenstättalm and the snack hut Stablberg.

Alternative variants: After Weikersbacher Köpfl 1616 m the path to Örgenbauernalm branches off to the left (variant C). After another 20 minutes, with the sign to Jahnhütte, the next opportunity on the left via Almrosenweg offers a shorter alternative (variant B) of the day tour to Maishofen.
