Gasthaus Zum Krug in Hinterwildalpen - Wegnummer 828 A - Adambaueralm und retour.

Rather little to no trail marking, as the ascent leads up on a gravel road throughout. Mountain hiking in Wildalpen.

Hinterwildalpen is a very rustic alpine and mountain village with unique flora and fauna. Incidentally, Hinterwildalpen also has the valley head and crossings to Gams or Eisenerz are only possible on foot. Quiet summer days invite you to linger and relax. The sun terrace at the Zum Krug inn in Hinterwildalpen offers the finest panoramic views.

______________________________

The journey from Wildalpen:

Take the road at the turn-off to Hinterwildalpen for approx. 6km and park at the Zum Krug inn.

Starting from Gasthaus Zum Krug, walk to the signpost and continue to the right in the direction of Buchberg or Goss. 250 m after that, you branch off over a wooden bridge up onto a gravel road; this leads directly next to the stream in the opposite direction. Before the gravel road leads to a meadow, the trail branches up to the left and continues along the forest road. You reach an altitude of about 1020 m where you take a sharp left onto a steep gravel path. From there the trail climbs steeply up to the Adambaueralm. Unfortunately, the Adambaueralm does not offer any refreshment facilities.
