Morsbachwirt: Theo’s rustic hut
Hidden pearls, they still exist. The Morsbachwirt Alm (also called Theo’s rustic hut) in Donnersbachwald is one of those. Somewhat isolated, less well known, but those who know it will definitely come back.
We drive out of the chalet park towards the valley station. We drive past the valley station. A bit past hotel the Stegerhof, we turn left into a sand road (indicated by a parking sign with an arrow). We follow this road for about 1.5 km until we reach the summer car park. There we leave the car and continue by foot along the gravel road. After about 30 minutes of walking, we arrive at the Morsbachwirt Alm. Here we stop to enjoy the beautiful scenery and to fortify the inner man (and women).
After that, there are several options. Either return to the car by the gravel road. Either continue up the mountain and hike via the also beautiful Oxenalm back to the summer car park. We ourselves choose the Morsbachalm – Gstemmerscharte route. Before we leave, we take a picture of the hiking map that hangs outside. This one indicates it is a medium-difficult walk and takes 3 hours. To us, this seems like an underestimation. For us this hike took about 4 and a half hours. From now on, we simply follow the signposts. We pass the Jagdhütte, the Hintere Mörsbachalm, the Sonntagskarspitz, the Schwärzkarspitz. A good bit past the Schärzkarspitz, we take a right and descend back to the Morsbachwirt.
Before you leave, it is best to take a photo of the hiking map at the Morsbachwirt.
