A great circular tour through valleys, plateaus and a lovely mountain hut. Many great views await us along the way. We start the tour at Golling station. We follow the Möslstraße uphill and out of the village till Egelsee. At the first crossroads we come to a signpost and from here follow the signs for "Ghf Bachrain". Follow the Bründlweg past a few houses. After 600 metres, we turn left and walk through a wooded area. At the next crossroads, continue straight on past a residential building. Behind it begins a meadow path that takes us up to the St. Anton inn. We keep left behind the inn and follow the road for 500 metres. At the crossroads near the houses and the Gotschenbrücke bridge, we turn right. We now follow the road and later a forest path for 1.7 kilometres and then turn left. We continue uphill along a forest track. Passing a wooden hut, we reach a pasture where we have to turn left. The path now leads us into the forest and 200 metres after the forest entrance we turn left onto a steep path. We still follow the signs for "Ghf Bachrain". At the top, we come to a road and walk a good kilometre to the right to the Bachrain Alm.
From the Gasthof Bachrain, the yellow signposted path goes up to the mountain pasture. Then, after about 15 minutes, a signposted and marked path begins, which crosses a forest road several times in the forest. A short cart track section follows, then a wide, marked path. This leads in steep and sometimes rocky serpentines, partly under trees, partly on a very sunny clearing, in about another 1.5 hours to a clearing. Here it becomes a little flatter and it takes about 15 minutes through grass up to the summit cross. One of the best panoramic points of Tennengebirge mountains.
The most striking mountains are the Dachstein (2,995 m) with the Bischofsmütze on the left and the karst plateau of the Tennengebirge on the right, which is on display here with its broad side (plateau height approx. 2,000 m, peaks approx. 2,500), the Hochkönig and the Hoher Göll, just to name a few famous mountains in the area. When visibility is good, the Schwarzer Berg offers a view far into the Salzach Valley, towards Salzburg and even Bavaria and Chiemsee. 
We return along the same path for another kilometre and after another 200 metres we turn right onto a meadow path. We now follow the signposts "Ghf Hochreit Via the meadow path and later a path, we reach the Hochreith Alm at the highest point of the tour, where we can also enjoy a snack. We now head downhill again on the access road and follow the signs for "Golling".
