Map, elevation profile & further information
The hike starts at the Leonhardikreuz in Sattental. From the crossroads, you walk down the forest path to the bridge over the Sattentalbach and follow the path on the other side out of the valley. You hike up 7 bends to the alpine pasture area of the Schladminger Alm, where a wonderful view of the Hochwildstelle awaits you. You return on the same path.
Trail conditions
Turn off the B320 Ennstal federal road in Pruggen and continue towards Pruggererberg. From there, follow the signs towards Sattental and continue on the road until you reach the Leonhardikreuz.Some parking spaces are available directly at the Leonhardikreuz.
A well-packed backpack is helpful and especially when touring Alpine terrain a tuque, gloves, a windproof jacket and pants are standard equipment. Good, waterproof shoes, sun glasses, sun cream and sufficient beverages are essential too. Torch light, a map of the area, knie and a small first-aid kit should also be in the backpack.
Changes in weather patterns, quick falls in temperature, thunderstorms, wind, fog and snow are some of the dangers that can be encountered on a hiking tour. Hosts of alpine huts and mountain refuges have a lot of experience in the mountains and can give good advice about weather and the trails. Poor equipment, overestimation of one's own capabilities, carelessness, poor personal constitution and/or wrong judgement can lead to critical situations. In case of thunderstorms: avoid summits, ridges and steel ropes.
