Plassen Round Trip
The most beautiful alpine tour in Austria
The Schäferalm, the Vordere Grubenalm and the "Roßalm", which is open in summer, are the first highlights on the Plassen circuit. This is followed by a descent into romantic Hallstatt before heading uphill again to Gosau.
Option 1: Start of the Gosau Tourist Office. We drive to the Gosaubach and further up to the Steinermühle. There in several curves uphill on the gravel forest path past some huts in the direction of Rossalm (a detour to the Plankensteinalm is worthwhile) On the forest road we descend in the Echerntal (asphalt beginning) to Hallstatt. There on the Hallstätter Landesstraße to the Gosaumühle intersection. Turn left there and then left again on the old path. This leads up again briefly and joins the main road again. We drive there to the village of Gosau (Klaushof) and turn left and drive on a narrow path keeping right via the Vitalhotel back to our starting point.
Option 2: Start at the Gosau Tourist Office. continue to the Gosaubach. there along the right bank to Hintertal and up to Vorderer Gosausee. Keeping to the left, the forest path then leads uphill to the Grubenalm junction and continues in the direction of Rossalm (a stop is worthwhile) as with variant 1.
