Gowilalm Pasture & Alpine Hut

The destination is very worthwhile; the Gowilalm is a relatively small and beautiful hiker's hut and Upper Austria's most beautiful alpine balcony. The innkeepers will spoil you with specialities and delicacies from the region.

A starting point to the Gowilalm is at the Flinderlmühle in Oberweng near Spital am Pyhrn, car park between the Singerskogel snack bar and Goslitzbauer in Oberweng.

From here, trail no. 616 leads steadily uphill on a forest path to the Gowilalm. 616 leads steadily uphill on a forest path, mostly in the shady mountain forest to the Gowilalm.

The lower section of the path is also part of the "Oberwenger Panoramaroute" mountain bike route.

From here, hike back to the Holzeralm via hiking trail no. 617/618. From there, the hiking trail leads through the romantic Goslitztal valley across flowering alpine meadows past the Stefansbergalm (partly farmed).

The Gowilalm is the starting point for the summit tour to the Kleiner Pyhrgas (2.023 m) - hiking trail no. 617 and 1.5 hours walking time or to the Great Pyhrgas (2,244 m) - hiking trail no. 616 and approx. 3 hours walking time.

From Spital am Pyhrn railway station via trail nos. 616 and 617 to the Gowilalm (walking time: 3 hours)
