Hike to Putzentalalm

Open
An easy but very varied hike takes us from the Breitlahnhütte in the Kleinsölktal to the Schwarzensee and on to the Putzentalalm. Beautiful family hike with water show path and numerous petting animals at the Putzentalalm.

The further we drive into the Kleinsölktal, the more imposingly the steep forested hillsides ascend towards the peaks above.  From the Breitlahn Hütte, a broad path takes us on an almost flat walk alongside the Kleinsölk stream to the Schwarzensee. Three sides of this lake are surrounded by dark forest, standing along the shore are a number of enormous, ancient alpine maples. And in good weather, whenever we come to a clearing, we can enjoy enchanting reflections off the lake. 

In spring and early summer, a veil of waterfalls cloaks the cliffs of the cirque, rhododendron are in bloom and, by the end of June, the cows have already been driven up here and the cowherds are working hard.  Gigantic blocks of rock serve as protection for these rustic alpine huts, each roofed with wooden shingles and blending perfectly into the surrounding countryside.

The Breitlahn hut in the Kleinsölk valley is the starting point of this tour. Here a wide field path leads along the Kleinsölk stream to the Schwarzensee. From there you hike to the Putzentalalm. 

Up to the Schwarzensee is a themed trail. Many refreshment stops along the way!

Since there is no internet reception in the entire valley, payments (toll or hut hosts) are only possible with cash.

The valley bus makes crossings in the Sölktäler Nature Park possible on weekdays. Likewise, you can arrive comfortably by train and the Tälerbus will take you to your accommodation or the starting point of your hike. This bus runs on weekdays during the Styrian summer vacations. You can find all information about the departure times here.
