Pinzgau Marian route stages 15 and 16: Stuhlfelden - Saalbach-Hinterglemm - Hochfilzen

Stage 15:

At Lichtenau Castle, turn left, past the old Geiger wood house, up the road towards the Stuhlfeldner Graben and always follow the Bürglhütte marking. The forest path rises steeply to the west, crosses the Mühlbach, passes the Postalm to the operated Bürglhütte, then steeply uphill to the north to the Murnauer notch (1959 m). The descent takes place on a hiking trail, turning into an alpine path, passing several alpine pastures along the Vogelalm valley to the Stefflalm and on the road to the Lengau parking lot. Along the Saalach riverbank path through Hinterglemm, change to the left bank at the end of the village. Soon you cross the main road again and follow the riverside promenade path to Saalbach.

Stage 16:

Cross the village square northwards from the parish church and follow the Spielbergbach for a long time upstream on the left side. The alpine gravel path gently ascends to the Spielberghaus (1019 m). Between the mountain inn and chapel a short climb to the next fork, where you turn left to the descent into Tyrolean land. Follow the alpine path under the material cableway, then take the steeply descending serpentine path to the Spielbergbach, the flat alpine path to the Eiserne Hand inn and at the next fork turn right following the signpost Hochfilzen. In the district Feistenau, take the path along the federal road to the parish church.
