Hike to one of the oldest and most beautifully situated alpine pastures in Austria. The walking time from Gasthaus Oberhaus is approx. 2 hours. The graveled mountain slope is very moderate to walk on. Sometimes you just have to come to terms with the many mountain bikers who continue to cycle to the Klammljoch.

July 15, 2022,Wanderung zur Jagdhausalm - Klein Tibet

Because the weather was mixed today, I decided to give my knee some rest. So I went on a short hike to the Jagdhausalm - one of the oldest mountain pasture settlements in Austria. In the meantime, the path seems to me to be something for mountain bikers, who are definitely in the clear majority here. It was nice anyway. …

July 30, 2023,Deferregental | Tag 7 Alpengasthaus Oberhaus - Jagdhausalm - Pfauenauge

To be on the safe side, we're not on a mountain today. It had rained very heavily during the night. That's why we hiked to the rear Defereggental in the Hohe Tauern National Park. We started at the Alpengasthaus Oberhaus and hiked to the Jagdhausalm. Very beautiful and scenic a varied tour. This time we were also able to observe …

July 3, 2025,OT Jagdhausalmen

To round off our hiking days with the nature lovers, we hiked from the parking lot at the Alpengasthaus Oberhaus along the Schwarzach River to the Jagdhausalmen (hunting lodge). The Jagdhausalmen (hunting lodges) were built entirely of stone and were first documented in the 13th century.
For me, this was the most beautiful hike of the last few days.

June 5, 2025,🇦🇹 „Klein Tibet“ - Jagdhausalm/Osttirol

🅿️ Hiking parking lot at the Alpengasthof Oberhaus 1793 m (still closed).
Access via toll road from the Schwarzach Bridge, turn-off about 400 m past Erlsbach, the last settlement in the Defreggental Valley.

We're lucky today - we learn that the toll gate is broken/the gate is open - and we can enter for free.
