Alm hike to Haidenholz-Alm

Alpine hike. Refreshment stop: Haidenholzalm (*) (*) - typical alpine snack during the alpine grazing season. Special features: beautiful mountain climbs; quiet tour far away from the hustle and bustle along the Alpbach. Description: We start in Schleching at the hiking car park in the Au and follow the signs towards Haidenholzalm. The path leads uphill through the forest to the Blasialm right from the start. There are beautiful views over Schleching on this stretch of the path. At the Blasialm we continue straight on, first on a slightly wider path, which after a short time turns into a narrow path on the left. As this path can be muddy and a bit slippery in places, sturdy shoes are recommended. We hear the Alpbach rushing and enjoy the peace and quiet of nature on this stretch. We hike quite steeply towards Haidenholzalm until we reach the forest road after a while. Here we turn right and hike the last 20 minutes on this path to our intermediate destination - the Haidenholzalm, which has a restaurant. After a rest and a snack, we head back and first walk a good distance down the forest road towards the Geigelstein car park. The path is easy to walk and so we can enjoy the view of the valley in peace. After one to one and a half hours we come to a fork in the road and turn left here towards Blasialm, Ettenhausen. About another 15 minutes later we come to another junction onto the "Knoglerlahnersteig" and follow this. The path is narrow and leads us in serpentines along the flower-filled slopes back to the valley. At the end of the path we turn right and after another 5 minutes left towards Schleching. We return to the car park in the Au. Achental hiking pin checkpoints via cow pastures: Blasialm; Haidenholzalm
