Saalachtaler circular route - 3rd Day - Variant B

From the town of Maria Alm, you walk in the valley for a few minutes towards Hinterthal until the bridge on the right over the small Urslau river and follow the side road on the right side to Unterberg, and here first turn right uphill on the "Güterweg Aberg" (Eberlalm, Gasthaus Christernreit), after some switchbacks a narrow hiking trail branches off to the right with the sign "to Hundstein." The path also leads to the Gasthof Christernreit, which you reach after about 30 minutes of walking and later to the Schranbachalm junction.

Here, however, do not turn right but go straight on the path to Tischleralm (serviced) and further uphill to the mountain inn Abergalm (not serviced). Here you meet the Güterweg, which leads right to Hundstein, but for us goes left flat to the upper station of the Schwarzeckalmbahn and to Thoraualm. The Schwarzeckalmbahn thus offers the option of a descent by cable car. On foot (about 45 minutes more), follow the Güterweg down the valley and after a total of about 3 hours descent, you reach the valley at Hintermoos, where you find your accommodation.
