This alpine variant of the Salzkammergut BergeSeen Trail leads from the Gosau lakes into the high alpine rock wilderness around the Adamekhütte. This shelter was opened in 1905 by the Alpine Club and named after one of its distinguished officials. It is located in one of the most beautiful places in the Dachstein Mountains – right behind it, the Great Gosau Glacier nestles under the Hohe Kreuz, the Niedere and Hohe Dachstein, the Mitterspitz and the Schneebergwand, a forebuilding of the mighty Torstein.
Directions:From Gosau-Hintertal you first hike on the route of the 14th stage of the Salzkammergut Trail upstream – from the Gasthof Gosauschmied next to the Gosauseestraße up to the small reservoir, then right following the sign "Panoramaweg bis Gosausee" past the "Primeval Forest" and again on the sidewalk of the road to the Vorderer Gosausee (937 m). 1:00 h
From the Gasthof Gosausee, take the broad path to the left along the dark water of the Vorderer Gosausee. At the fork of the forest road to Ebenalm, stay on the flat shore path, which runs through the rock walls above the water (above and below runs the via ferrata "Laserer alpin"). From the junction of the south shore path, continue on the forest road upstream, past the Niedere Holzmeisteralm and the periodically filled Gosau pond. Below the Launigg waterfall, the route rises to Luegbichl. Through a forest ravine, you reach the Hinterer Gosausee (1,154 m). 1:45 h On its south shore, a short detour to the hospitable Hohe Holzmeisteralm leads left. The trail no. 614 in the direction of "Adamekhütte" leads to the right into the wildly torn ravine of the Kreidebach and then from there in zigzags through lightly wooded slopes up to the Niedere Bärenstaffel. Next to a ravine to a steep step which the path overcomes in many switchbacks. Past the ruin of the roughly built stone hut built in 1879 – the first mountaineer's accommodation in this area – you reach the Hoher Riedel (2,035 m) below the Schreiberwandeck, where the path splits. You go straight ahead – still marked no. 614 – through the rocky karst terrain towards the mighty Schreiberwand and then right in bends up to the Adamekhütte (2,196 m). The view from this Alpine Club hut of the Dachstein and the Gosaukamm is magnificent. 3:15 h Continue on the alpine variant to the Simonyhütte or descend on the same route (5:00 h).
Tip:Note: Bus connection (line 542) from Gosau-Hintertal to Vorderer Gosausee.
Safety guidelines:- In alpine terrain, be aware of the danger of falling rocks.
- Until early summer, you may encounter steep snowfields or firn gutters there – especially when icy, there is acute danger of falling and thus life-threatening!
- Due to storm damage, forestry work or construction measures, some trail sections may be temporarily difficult or impossible to pass.
- Cows on the alpine pasture are often curious. Due to mother cow husbandry, they develop a strong drive to protect their calves. So move calmly on cow pastures, keep at least 20 m distance from the animals and do not pet calves! In case of threatening behavior (scratching, stamping) slowly walk backwards (do not turn your back). Dogs must be on a leash, they must not bark at or chase cows. In case of an attack, you must definitely let them off the leash.
For all stages you need hiking or mountain boots with profile rubber soles as well as wind- and rainproof clothing.
Spare clothes for changing and a small first aid kit should also be in the rucksack. How much provision you pack depends on the number of refreshment options. In any case, you should take enough to drink with you. Telescopic poles are especially helpful when going downhill.

Vis-à-vis users
1. The tours presented for hiking, walking, biking and road biking, mountain biking, motorbiking, horseback riding, climbing, cross-country skiing, and going on skiing and snowshoe tours etc. are to be considered non-paid tour recommendations and only serve as non-binding information. We have no intention of concluding a contract with the users of this website. The utilisation of the data does not lead to the establishment of a contract with us.
The data may only be used for private use; any commercial use is prohibited. In particular, it is not permissible to offer the data on commercially run websites, file-sharing platforms etc. or to use it to develop commercial products. Downloading data does not imply that users are granted rights to the data concerned.
The tour recommendations posted were created with utmost care; nevertheless, we assume no liability for the correctness and completeness of the information.
We point out that neither the tour recommendations included on this website nor the associated data and information were posted by us, but rather by third parties (Art. 16 Austrian E-Commerce Act). We have no influence on whether the details provided (e.g. distance, level of difficulty, change in altitude, description etc.) are authentic, correct and complete. We do not review these third-party contents. For this reason, we assume no liability for the authenticity, correctness and completeness of the information.
Construction-related measures or other influences (e.g. landslides and similar occurrences) can lead to temporary or permanent changes in a route (e.g. loss of a bridge and similar occurrences). Such occurrences can lead to part of the route or the entire route becoming impassable.
The use of the data as well as undertaking (riding, walking, taking etc.) the recommended tours or using the network of paths occurs at users’ own risk and on their authority. In particular, users themselves are responsible for the choice of route, outdoor orientation, adherence to traffic rules, supplies and equipment for tours listed in Point 1 (e.g. bicycle etc.), wearing a helmet, estimating their own fitness, recognising dangers and maintaining an appropriate velocity. We exclude ourselves from any liability whatsoever for damages, in particular accidents, that occur whilst taking part in the recommended tours.
2.Some of the tours lead over roads with normal traffic conditions. Please observe that there is an increased risk which can be avoided by means of appropriate attention and proper estimation and implementation of one’s own abilities. For this reason, please travel a route that is unfamiliar to you slowly and with special care. Pay constant attention to potential dangers and always observe traffic. Do not leave the routes featured in descriptions.
The potential use of private roads, in particular forestry roads and agricultural transport roads, can be subject to legal restrictions, which must be observed and adhered to.
The normal traffic rules apply. Each user (e.g. biker, motorbiker) is responsible for adhering to these rules and maintaining his/her bike/vehicle and its equipment (lights, brakes etc.) in good working order. Each user is also responsible for ensuring that he/she rides at a velocity that is appropriate for the conditions and his/her skill level and for maintaining sufficient distance to the rider in front. We explicitly recommend adjusting velocity to correspond to the respective field of vision, wearing a helmet, using reflective clothing (or similar) and employing bicycle lights in line with regulations.
3.Each tour requires good physical fitness as well as detailed planning. We explicitly recommend only taking the tours in the case of optimal healthiness.
We recommend that you conclude an accident and liability insurance policy. Use an onboard computer that displays the respective kilometres travelled per day and is calibrated for the front wheel.
4.Special for mountain bikers – Fair-play rules:
Mountain biking is one of the most wonderful outdoor leisure-time activities. Whilst biking or on a mountain biking tour, mountains and lakes, meadows and cabins are re-discovered in new ways. A couple of rules for fair play in the forest help to avoid conflicts whilst mountain biking.
a.Pedestrians have the right of way: We are accommodating and friendly to pedestrians and hikers. Upon encountering these fellow travellers, we alert them by using the bicycle bell and slowly overtake them. We avoid paths with heavy pedestrian traffic altogether. Take nature into account: We do not leave refuse behind.
b.The braking distance should be half of the total distance visible: We ride at a controlled pace, are ready to brake and maintain a braking distance half as long as the total distance visible, especially in curves, because we always have to count on obstacles on the path. Damage to the path, stones, branches, wood piles, grazing livestock, cattle grids, barriers, tractor-type forestry machines and authorised vehicles pose dangers that we need to be ready for.
c.Don’t drink and drive!: Do not drink alcohol when mountain biking. Take care at stop-off points (dealing with bike racks, dirty shoes or clothing).
It is obligatory to provide first aid!
d.Marked routes, closed paths and blockades: Keep to the marked routes, observe the blockades and accept that these roads are primarily for agricultural and forestry use!
Blockades can often not be avoided and are in your own interest. Biking beyond the intended path and outside of opening times is punishable and turns us into illegal bikers.
e.We are guests in the forest and behave accordingly, including vis-à-vis forestry and hunting staff. Whilst mountain biking, mobile telephones and music players are forbidden! Biking requires your full attention.
f.Avoid unnecessary noise. Out of consideration to the animals living in the wild, we only bike during full daylight. As a principle, we always wear our helmet (even when riding uphill)! Don’t forget emergency supplies: We always have a repair set and bandages along.
g.Don’t overestimate your skills: We should not overdo it when it comes to biking technique and physical fitness. Take the level of difficulty posed by the route into consideration and make a precise estimate of your experience and skills as a biker (braking, bell, lights)!
h.Close gates: We approach grazing livestock at a walking pace and close every gate behind us. We should avoid causing escape and panic reactions in the animals. Nothing stands in the way of the fun and athletic challenge in the mountains and forests!
i.Traffic rules: The general traffic rules (StVO) apply for all the mountain biking routes and we adhere to them. Our bike therefore needs to be in perfect technical condition and equipped in line with the traffic rules, including brakes, a bell and lights. We inspect and service our mountain bikes regularly anyway.
