From the Source of the Raab to the Alpine Pasture

This hike begins in Passail, and from there it continues to the source of the Raab River at the foot of the Osser, where the stag “Pozilo” and the little droplet “Sprungingerl” tell their stories along the themed loop trail. The route then continues toward the Sommeralm to the Dreiwetterkreuze. The return route passes through the Hohenauer Ochsenhalt and continues back to the starting point of the tour.

If you want to shorten the hike, turn left at the Dreiwetterkreuzen into the "Bärental" on Trail No. 33.
