As on the previous day, continue on through sparse mountain woods and across alpine meadows to the Mittereggalm and the Pichlalm. Then leave the beautiful Hochkönig mountain range. The trail leads downwards to Hinterthal and across the Jufenalm pasture into the well-known tourist and pilgrimage town Maria Alm, where the start of the next mighty mountains, the Steinerne Meer, can already be seen.

    In Maria Alm ist das Haus Tyrol, +4366475078590, eine gute Nächtigungsmöglichkeit. Etwas außerhalb , ruhig am Bach und gleich daneben ein Geschäft.

    In Maria Alm is the house Tyrol, +4366475078590, a good overnight stay possibility. A bit out of the way, quiet by the stream and right next to a shop.
