More information

Coming from Judenburg via Unzmarkt to Scheifling. Turn right here and drive to Murau. In Murau drive straight on via St. Georgen ob Murau and Stadl an der Mur to Predlitz. Turn left here and drive along the winding road to the Turracher Höhe.

Coming from Tamsweg drive straight ahead until you reach Predlitz. Turn right here and drive along the winding road to the Turracher Höhe.

After only a few minutes of walking, you will be accompanied by the beautiful view to the south, while the path leads leisurely uphill to the Kormulde. The partly dilapidated miners' house and the former cinnabar gallery bear witness to historic mining. Passing alpine pastures, you hike up to the 3-lake viewpoint. Soon after follows the descent in the direction of the Panoramabahn mountain station.

To get back to the valley station of the Panoramabahn, there are 3 possibilities:

  • the descent with the Nocky Flitzer or
  • with the Panoramabahn or
  • on foot across alpine meadows and past the glacier mill

The path is partly marked with wooden arrows with the inscription "Barbara Weg".
