Sabathy-Rothaidenhütte-Zirbitzkogel-Winterleitenhütte-Sabathy

Open

Panoramic circular hike in the Murtal Region from the Alpengasthof Sabathy to the Zirbitzkogel.

This scenic hike in the Murtal Region takes us from the Sabathyhütte (Alpengasthof Sabathy) at a sea level at 1620 m comfortably uphill to the Linderhütte. Here you already have a beautiful view of the Zirbitzkogel. After the Linderhütte, we keep to the left and cross the stream and hike along the path or the small shortcuts towards the Rothaidenhütte. Shortly before the hut with a view of Obdach, we continue hiking to the right on meadows and serpentines uphill to the Zirbitzkogel. The way back is via the narrow Schreibersteig and short descent with rocks past the small and large Winterleiten lake to the Winterleiten hut. Below the hut, the trail leads to the Schmelzhütte hut and back to the Sabathyhütte hut on the right.
