The circumnavigation of the Gosaukamm is a very long and beautiful hiking tour, which impresses above all by its scenic and geological attractions.

Granted, the landscape of the UNESCO World Heritage region Hallstatt Dachstein Salzkammergut is the "non plus ultra" for hikers, hikers and nature lovers: Unforgettable tours to the most beautiful mountain huts and pastures, panoramic views as far as the eye can see and moments of happiness for all eternity! The circumnavigation of the Gosaukamm can be done as an extended day tour as well as a cozy 2-day tour.

The first section leads from the front Gosausee (car park, valley station Gosaukammbahn) along the well-marked trail no. 612 in the direction of Steiglpass. Initially, the path leads through wooded terrain to the so-called Scharwandhütte. From the Scharwandhütte you can now enter the "free" terrain and for the first time you have an unrestricted view of the huge rocks of the Gosaukamm.
After approx. 2 further hours you will reach the Steiglpass via the partly rugged path (highest point of the tour - 2015m). Very promising and you see for the first time the destination of the first stage : Hofpürglhütte. From the Steiglpass leads the sometimes somewhat exposed way (partly wire insured) Down in the so-called "Kessel". From here you have a very good insight into the eastern wall of the Bischofsmütze - ie in that part of the mountain, which was in the last 10 years again and again the scene of massive rock falls. Now about 30 minutes along the cozy climb 601 - past the "Mosermanndl" and the so-called "teeth" (climbing) - the Hofpürglhütte.
We then keep going round circumnavitagin west side of Gosaukamm passing through more huts where we can have more drinks and extra breaks. Finally we reach our starting point: Gosausee.
