You can plan tours in Steuer using two specific addresses: Stuhlalm is at Steuer 23, 5524 Annaberg im Lammertal; the valley station of the Donnerkogelbahn is at Steuer 60, 5524 Annaberg-Astauwinkel. Several hikes connect with the Donnerkogelbahn, but they have different starting points and destinations. When choosing a route, always consider the starting point, walking time, and destination together. For routes starting at the mountain station, check the cable car’s seasonal operating hours in advance.

Hikes with Different Starting Points

The hike from the mountain station to Rottenhofhütte is 1 km long and takes about 30 minutes. The family-friendly Fuxis Adventure Trail also leads from the mountain station to Rottenhofhütte. Another hike starts at the same mountain station and leads to Sonnenalm on Zwieselalm. This means there are different destinations to choose from at this starting point: Rottenhofhütte, with a specific distance and time, and Sonnenalm as another hiking destination.

A route to Stuhlalm can begin at the Donnerkogelbahn in Annaberg; on foot, it takes about 1.5 to 2 hours. This walking time is a guide and may vary depending on conditions. Together with the approximately 30 minutes to Rottenhofhütte, this gives you two tour options of different lengths. When comparing them, bear in mind that the stated destination and its associated starting point matter in each case: the hike to Rottenhofhütte begins at the mountain station, while the route to Stuhlalm can start at the Donnerkogelbahn.

For Loseggalm, the starting point is the Mauerreith car park: a marked hiking trail leads from there to the alm in 50 to 60 minutes. Here, too, the walking time and starting point go together. This makes it possible to distinguish the information for Mauerreith from the walking times for routes starting at the Donnerkogelbahn.

Huts, Views, and Seasonal Offerings

Homemade bacon is recommended at Stuhlalm. As the food offering may change seasonally, check what is available for your travel dates before visiting. The sunset towards the Tennengebirge is also part of the scenery at Stuhlalm. This destination therefore combines a specific walking time with a particular culinary recommendation and a scenic viewpoint.

The Theodor-Körner-Hütte has been in existence since 1923. Activities there include hiking, climbing, and mountaineering, as well as enjoying the views. These different activities can help you decide what kind of mountain experience you would like to plan: a hike, climbing or mountaineering, or time to take in the landscape.

At Holzerhütte, Steuer 56, equipment and scorecards for Gaudi Golf are available. This service is seasonal. Check in advance whether they will be available during your visit rather than assuming they are offered year-round.

Practical Information

Parking at the Donnerkogelbahn car park in Annaberg is free, and there is also a charging station for electric vehicles. As facilities may change, check this information before you arrive. Freeride-alpin offers ski and snowboard rentals at the valley station of the Donnerkogelbahn at Steuer 60. The address is therefore also relevant when planning to use this rental service. Seasonal cable car operations remain an important planning factor for hikes starting at the mountain station.
