RW_N19 Graslitzen (2,044 m)

From the car park in Förolach you walk straight uphill, through the village, in a northward direction, to the forest edge at the end of the residential area. At the following crossroads, turn right onto the gravel road and shortly afterwards turn left onto the path heading north. The route runs through the ravine, along rocky forests, uphill - at about 1,450m you reach a clearing with the “masonry” hunting hut. You walk across the clearing in a northern direction and follow the path which crosses steep mountain meadows beneath individual rock walls up to the Förolacher Saddle (1,840m). Here you turn right and hike over the ridge-like spine eastward toward the summit Graslitzen.

The route continues east along the ridge - to the Graslitzen east summit. You continue your way eastwards and after the following hut turn right - the path leads you southward to the Geißrücken. From here you follow the steeper path downhill through the forest in a southwest direction until you reach the small plateau with the church St. Steben.

Below the church begins the path which also runs downhill southwest - you finally reach a fork at the gravel road - here you turn right. Shortly afterwards you reach the junction where your ascent path meets your descent path - from here you walk the remaining minutes back along the already known path to the starting point of the hike.

Care for nature – landowners – your health.... and safety on the mountain have the highest priority on your tour and the associated tour planning!

Therefore, inquire about the rules of conduct before each hike - Safety on the Mountain - as well as the current weather conditions.
