Hochwurzen - Rossfeld - Guschen

From the mountain terminal of the Hochwurzen cable-car at Hochwurzenhütte you follow trail n° 60 via "Kleine Wurzen" and through the pine forest to the mountain saddle of "Hüttecksattel" (1,744 m) from where the trail ascends easily to the ridge of Rossfeld (1,919 m). While walking over the long ridge you get an idea why it has got its name (Rossfeld translates to "horse fur"). From the Rossfeld you descend to the mountain saddle of "Latterfußsattel" (1,792 m). From here the trail ascends again to the summit of Guschen (1,982 m) - the hightest point of this tour. From the summit you have a beautiful view into the Obertal valley and to the Steirische Kalkspitze summit at the valley head of Preuneggtal valley.

For the way back there are several alternatives:

• Take the way back to Latterfußsattel and from there take trail n° 773 to Obertal valley and to the valley terminal of the Hochwurzen cable-car.
• Take the way you came back to Hütteckattel and from there take trail n° 61 to Obertal valley and the valley terminal of Hochwurzen cable-car.
• Take the way you came back to Hochwurznhütte and ride back down with the cable-car or take trail n° 60 back down to the valley terminal of the Hochwurzen cable-car (+1.5 hours).
