The tour

Find out more about your "tree sign" on the Baumhoroskopweg. From the top at Kulm you have a breathtaking view over the surrounding mountains Stoderzinken, Kamm and Grimming. The Peace Bell (Friedensglocke), Stöckelbergalm (not managed) and the "pillars of life" are some of your way points.

Turn-by-turn directions

Bei guten Schneeverhältnissen gehts mit guten Winterschuhen oder Schneeschuhen und Skistöcken unterhalb des Ackerlhofs rechts die Forststraße hinauf. Es geht den Waldrand entlang durch den Wald hinauf bis zu einer Lichtung. Von hier aus hat man eine atemberaubende Aussicht auf die umliegenden Berge Stoderzinken, Kamm und Grimming. Rechts weiter gelangt man zur Friedensglocke. Danach quert man die Wiese zur Stöckelbergalm (nicht bewirtschaftet). Man folgt den Schautafeln bis zum Schneerosenhügel. Dort geht es wieder hinab und zurück zum Ausgangspunkt.

Equipment
In winter, caution is advised even on seemingly easy hikes. In shady areas, the ground can be slightly icy, and there may be avalanche danger below slopes. Mountaineering is therefore primarily a matter of personal responsibility – even more so in winter. Tourist associations and avalanche warning services assume no liability whatsoever based on the information provided.

Your equipment should ideally include:
  • Ankle-high, warm shoes. Waterproof, warm shoes with a treaded sole are ideal. Optional: Gaiters for additional snow protection.
  • A hood and warm clothing, ideally layered. Don't forget a change of clothes for longer winter hikes: a wind and waterproof jacket and trousers.
  • A small backpack with a warm drink in a thermos and snacks as needed
  • Sun protection
  • Cell phone
  • First aid kit
  • Optional: crampons/snow spikes (snow chains for shoes), telescopic hiking poles for better grip and balance.
