Description

From the Franzlhof, take the Söller Sunnseitweg trail towards Hochfilzer. At the Pfötsching Bassin signpost, follow the signs towards Kleiner/Großer Pölven. Shortly after the Pfötschinghof, a steep root path branches off to the right from the forest road and leads to an alpine pasture. Continue hiking to the unmanaged Reiteralm. The trail then leads you along a winding path to the upper end of the alpine pasture and a turnstile. After a steep section of forest and two rope-secured passages, the terrain becomes flatter and you reach the Kleiner/Großer Pölven fork. Follow the path to the right through the forest until you reach the summit with the ‘Söller Kreuz’ cross. Return to the valley and the Franzlhof via the same route.

Tip: Alternatively, you can also start this tour from the Alpenschlössl hiking starting point.
