Bergheimat - Unteralmhütte

Access to starting point:
Drive to Irschen (Austria). Once in Irschen follow the signs for Leppner Alm. The steep and picturesque road passes numerous houses in the steep terrain. The road eventually leads you through the forest. Expect a macadam road in its final kilometers. There is a parking at the destination and the Bergheimat in the near vicinity.

Path description:
Starting from the parking place, follow the macadam road for a few meters, pass the information tables and cross the small bridge. Immediately after the bridge, head left to the steep trail passing the signposts. After few minutes, our trail joins the road where signs direct us left. A few houses appear after a short stroll. Immediately after mind the signs and turn right to a trail. The trail gets steeper and runs through the forest. After a while it reaches mountain pastures and soon after the hut it branches off to the right (mind the signs). The trail then slowly ascends until it merges with the cart track. Turn left before the cart track barrier. In the continuation, the trail traverses several mountain springs and numerous mountain pastures. Eventually, the next signs are reached where the trail continues to the left and after a short on-minute-long descent the hut is reached.
