Lenzanger - Rojacher Hütte

Access to the starting point:
Drive through the Karavanke Tunnel into Austria, then continue along the Tauern motorway. We continue through the Katschberg Tunnel and later the Thuringian Tunnel / Tauerntunnel, and follow the motorway to Salzburg (aka Solnograd) only as far as the exit for Bischofshofen, from where we continue on the four-lane road to the aforementioned town. From Bischofshofen, follow the signs for Zell am See through the valley along the Salzach River. At the end of Taxenbach, turn towards Rauris. Continue along the Raurisertal valley through Rauris and Wörth. Then follow the ascending road until you reach the large parking lot of Lenzanger. In the last part of the road there is a toll (9€ - August 2013).

Path description:
From the parking lot, follow the signs "Naturfreundehaus" along the road, which is closed to traffic. The road, which becomes gravel just after the barrier, initially leads through the woods and leads to a crossroads. To the right, the road leads slightly downhill towards the mountain pasture Grießwiesalm, and we continue slightly left along the road towards the Naturfreundehaus hut.
The road then soon leads us out of the forest and along the Scheidbach stream with fine views towards the Hoher Sonnblick summit. Here you soon reach a crossroads where footpath 123 branches off to the right over a bridge towards the Goldzechscharte and the Hocharn summit.
We continue along the road and soon we are at the crossroads again. The road to the left leads to the Ammerhof hut, and we continue to the right and soon reach the Naturfreundehaus hut along a sloping road.
At the hut, follow the signs "Hoher Sonnblick, Schutzhaus Neubau". The path leads us into the forest through which we climb southwards for some time. The trail continues past the Barbarafall and the views of the nearby peaks and the Raurisertal valley begin to open up.
We then emerge from the forest onto grassy slopes where cattle graze in the summer months. Here, signs point to the right and the road heads west. When you get near the stream, the path turns left again and then climbs up the mostly grassy slopes for some time.
Shortly before the hut, you reach a crossroads where the path to Niedersachsenhaus hut branches off to the left. At the crossroads we continue to the right and there is only a short climb to the Neubau hut, which we can already see in front of us.
From the hut, continue westwards following the 'Hoher Sonnblick' signs. The Tauerngold-Rundwanderweg circular route then branches off to the right, where you can see the sights of the gold mines in the area. The trail then soon crosses a stream and leads to a marked crossroads. The Tauerngold-Rundwanderweg continues to the left towards the glacier, and we continue slightly to the right towards the Rojacherhütte hut and the summit of Hoher Sonnblick.
From the crossroads, the path then climbs for some time on the slopes on the eastern side of Hoher Sonnblick. Higher up, the trail turns slightly left to the south and soon there is a view of the Goldbergkees glacier. Here the path then branches off to the left towards the Niedere Scharte, and we continue slightly to the right, followed by a few more climbs up the rocky slope to the Rojacher Hütte hut.
