Bike & Hike to the Steinernes Hüttl alpine hut

Description

The route begins at the Salzbach parking lot, from where you take the bike as far as the Gaistalalm. Leave your bike at the alpine hut and continue on foot to the Tillfussalm. After that, the path continues steadily uphill on a trail to the Steinernes Hüttl. Once you arrive at the hut, a hearty snack and an incredible panoramic view await you. After the break, continue a bit further uphill on the Südwandsteig (direction Predigtstuhl). Optionally, you can take the turn-off to the summit of the Predigtstuhl, although caution is advised here, as the final ascent to the summit is a difficult trail. Once at the top, a magnificent view rewards your efforts. If unsure, it is better to stay on the Südwandsteig. Afterwards, head downhill back to the Gaistalalm. Once back at your bike, enjoy a leisurely cycle out of the Gaistal to the starting point.
