Lenzanger - Schutzhaus Neubau

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 into a forest through which you climb southwards for some time. The path continues past the Barbarafall waterfall and the views of the nearby peaks and the Raurisertal valley start 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.
