Über den Altenbergersteig auf die Rax im Naturpark Mürzer Oberland
Interestingly, the Altenbergersteig is quite little frequented even on nice weekends, probably the Preiner Gscheid "catches" the majority of hikers.
With the Gasthof Moassa and the Karl Ludwig Haus (bio - certified business) there are to the dreamlike summit panorama on the Heukuppe also still dreamlike culinary rest places on the tour.

More information
Here the path divides and we continue to keep to the left upwards, to soon cross numerous scree fields in a traverse.
Now the trail begins to climb upwards to the right and takes us, past the "Steinernen Manndln", in a few hairpin bends to the Rax plateau not far from the Gamseck peak.
Now we turn right again and ascend the Heukuppe on an alpine path. After a short panoramic break, we hike downhill in an easterly direction to the Karl Ludwig Haus, which is soon visible.
There we have a good rest, before we return north of the already climbed Heukuppe on a blue marked path almost flat to the Gamseck summit and from there on the ascent path back to the Moassa inn.
In fog, the Rax plateau is not recommended, difficult orientation and usually strong wind make it quickly uncomfortable there!
