Hämmerkogel

A lonely alpine and summit hike at its best - over the Weinmeisterboden and the Siebenbründltal to the Hämmerkogel.

In the Seckauer Tauern, the last snowfields are melting day by day. Right now it is particularly beautiful in the alpine terrain, although the trail conditions can be strenuous at times. Although the paths are mostly dry, there are snow-covered or wet spots that are very slippery. The powerful murmur of the streams and the calm mirror-smooth surface of the lakes exude a special charm. Early summer is slowly beginning in the mountains and with it the alpine bush blossoms. On this long-distance hike we take our time, enjoy the pleasant hiking temperatures, occasionally observe marmots and chamois and see the first alpine flowers. The hiking trail leads over a softly shaped cirque landscape to the Hämmerkogel, which is rich in views. For athletically ambitious mountaineers, the "encore" would be the Seckauer Zinken (2397 m), which can be hiked over a connecting ridge. Conclusion: A powerful mountain tour in the Murtal region.

Motorway S 36 (exit St. Lorenzen/Feistritz)

Murtal side road L 518 to Feistritz or St. Marein

From there away to Wasserleith further into the Feristritzgraben; driving possibility to the car park at Untere Bodenhütte

We start at the Untere Bodenhütte (1385 m). Via a forest road we reach the turn-off. A clearly recognisable trail leads uphill through the forest. We cross a forest road and reach the Obere Bodenhütte (not managed) via the Weinmeisterboden. Immediately behind the hut lies - somewhat hidden - the Schwarzlacke (1619 m), a recommendable detour. At the hut we keep to the right and hike uphill following the Feistritzbach stream to the extensive cirque above the Siebenbründl. Once at the ridge, we turn left onto the Hämmerkogel (2253 m), where we enjoy the view of the Goldlacke and the Seckauer Zinken. The descent is via the ascent route.

Leichte Wanderung bis zum oberen Bodenhütten See, für Familien geeignet.
