On the way to one of the most rustic alpine pastures, the Steyrsbergerreith near Hinterstoder
The hike starts at the middle station of the cable car in Hinterstoder, which is located just 300 meters from the Explorer Hotel. If you're feeling more athletic, you can start at the valley station and complete the ascent under your own steam. From the middle station, at the Hutterer Böden, this extensive hike then leads you steadily downhill to one of the most rustic alpine pastures in the area: the Steyrsbergerreith. You first hike across the flat alpine plateau to the lower Edtbauernalm and then via Röthelstein down through the forest to the aforementioned Steyerbergerreith Alm.
During a cozy stop with regional products from the Platzer family farm, you can enjoy the magnificent view of the surrounding mountains and fortify yourself for the rest of the hike.
Once you're finally able to tear yourself away from your snack, the descent leads along gravel paths through the forest and across a meadow to the Almgasthof Baumschlagerberg and back to the center of Hinterstoder, and thus back to the Explorer Hotel.
