Trail # 774 is blocked by windthrown trees about 500 m into the valley from Eschachalm. Clean-up works will start in the next days.

In the meantime, for the ascent towards Neualm, we recommend taking the logging road - either directly from the trail head Eschachalm or about 100 metres into the valley from the inn where you make a right onto the trail taking you to the logging road as well.

Here are some images from the May, 2018, storm damage on Hosner Mountain.

Due to necessary forestry works the section between the Ahlhof farm and the Old Gföller mill is closed in the beginning of June.

As an alternative route to the theme trail Wild Waters we recommend the following: at the Burgner farm in Untertal-Dorf branch off right onto the trail towards Michlbauer before crossing the bridge towards Ahlhof farm. Once you reach Untertalstraße road follow it into the valley, passing by Michlbauer inn. At the catchment of spring called "Wasserschlössl" Untertalstraße joins with the theme trail Wild Waters again.

As an alternative route to the Mill Tour (section between Gföller and Ahlhof farms) we recommend to follow Janerweg road until you reach the trail junction with trails # 56 and # 100. Here you can descend to the village of Untertal, which you will reach at Steinacher farm.
