Around the Rettenstein near Filzmoos
The long but extremely enjoyable hike leads along the foot of the steeply rising Rettenstein and crosses the most beautiful alpine pasture areas in Filzmoos.
The fertile alpine soils around the distinctive Rettenstein stand in stark contrast to this steeply rising rock block, which is also called Rötelstein due to its reddish coloring. The gentle Sulzenhals on the north side separates the Rettenstein from the neighboring Gosaukamm and Dachstein mountain ranges. Over this 1827 meter high saddle runs the path from Schaidlalm into the fairy-tale-like area of the Sulzenalm. With the attractive Bischofsmütze in the background, the Wallehen and Krahlehen huts there are not only popular photo motives but also come at exactly the right time as rest stops. About half of the hike is behind us, the second part downhill to Filzmoos now leads increasingly through the beautiful high forest.Â

Directions
From the Schaidlalm parking lot bus stop (junction to Bachlalm), the first approximately one-hour section generally follows the access road to Bachlalm (path 39). At the height of Schaidlalm, the path continues northwards straight through the sparse larch forest and after an uphill left loop reaches the Sulzenhals junction (1827 m). Path 638 leads from this highest point of the hike into the picturesque Sulzenalm area and first meets the Wallehen hut and 15 minutes later the Krahlehen hut (both operated). After a few meters on the alpine pasture access road, the signposted path to Filzmoos branches off to the left. Three equally long and equally attractive variants are available: via Wallehen (path 638), via Reithof (path 31 C), and via Leopichl (path 31 D). All routes deviate from the forest paths in the last half hour to paved farm access roads.
