Description

The starting point for this hike is the Kelchsau-Unterdorf car park. Cross the bridge and walk left along the rushing Ache into the valley to the first fork. From there, follow the signs no. 79+79/1 in the direction of the Ölbank circular trail. Follow the tarmac road uphill until you turn into the forest. Pass the Vordere and Hintere Ölbankalm and continue in the direction of the Untere Lodronalm. At the Unterlodron junction, follow trail no. 79/1 to the Demmelshütten. Return to the starting point along the Fortsstraße road back to Kelchsau. The last part of the hike leads through the centre of Kelchsau. 
There are no refreshment stops along the way, so we recommend taking enough food and drink with you.
