Starting from Taschelbach (Lower Austria) we start our hike towards Feldwiesalm. First along a forest road, then on a forest path and finally again along a forest road we reach the Feldwiesalm (managed) after about 1 hour walking time. From here we continue on a forest road and then branch off to the left across further alpine pastures to the Halterhütte on the Brach (managed). Return from the Halterhütte on the Brach via a forest road until we arrive at a crossroads, where there are several junctions (direction Erlaufsee, direction Zellerrain, direction Feldwiesalm). We follow the path in the direction of Feldwiesalm and thus reach the Feldwiesalm again via a wide alpine pasture, from where we take the same path back to Taschelbach.
Alternatively, we could take the route towards Zellerrrain and then walk along the B71 back to Taschelbach (approx. 15 min walking time on the road).
The hut on the Feldwiesalm or on the Brach invite you to take a rest (both huts are open from about the end of May to mid-September).
