Map, elevation profile & further information

From the mountain rescue house, hike the short distance to the valley station of the "Kleiner Rotbühellift". Now turn left, following the signs on trail 2, past the Ewis-Hütte and follow the gravel path uphill at a moderate incline to the Panoramasee. Return along the same path.

From the Ennstal main road (B320) at the Trautenfels roundabout, turn off towards Irdning, Donnersbach, Donnersbachwald. In the village of Donnersbach, turn left after the village center towards Planneralm. 12 km ascent via the toll-free mountain road up to the Planneralm.

Free parking at the large car park or the Bergrettungshaus car park on the Planneralm.

  • Plan your tour in advance and take walking time, distance, elevation gain, danger spots and the weather forecast into account.
  • Let others know where you are going and by what time you plan to be back. 
  • Turn back in time if the weather deteriorates. If you get caught in a thunderstorm, stay away from isolated trees and wait out the storm, preferably in a crouching position.
  • Stay on the marked paths and remember to close pasture gates behind you.
  • If you are a dog owner: Check before your hike whether you have to cross a pasture. Keep your dog on a lead and make sure it remains calm. In the event of a cow attack, release the dog from the lead immediately. Never pick it up to defend it.
  • Shoes with a light tread.
  • Clothing appropriate for the weather forecast.
  • Backpack with small snacks to enjoy nature during a break.

Here you will find tips for choosing the right hiking boots.

A detour to the Neues Plannerkreuz is definitely worthwhile.
