Circular route Arthurhaus - Windraucheggalm

From the Arthurhaus to the Mitterbergalm, you can either take the asphalt road or the forest path along the Erzweg; alternatively, a gravel path also leads there.

Self-assessment: Before every mountain tour, check your physical fitness and realistically assess your strength as well as that of your companions – especially your children! Sure-footedness and being free from dizziness are often very important!

Planning and preparation: Plan each intended mountain tour carefully in advance. Hiking maps and guides as well as information 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 footwear with a grippy sole. Weather and cold protection are indispensable because the weather can change unexpectedly.

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 dislodge stones: Do not dislodge stones because it could seriously endanger other hikers. Marked areas with risk of rockfall should be crossed as quickly as possible with attention and caution.

Turn back in time: This is no disgrace but a sign of reason. It becomes necessary when the weather changes, fog sets in, or when the path is too difficult or not in good condition.

Emergency numbers: Alpine emergency: 140, International emergency: 112, Rescue: 144
