Krugkoppe, beginner's tour with magnificent scenery!

The tour to the Krugkoppe is technically easy. With good tracking we get to the saddle before the summit without a hairpin bend.  
From Bergerhube the route leads us through the forest in the direction of Mödringhütte, 1,467m. For part of our way, a small stream accompanies us on the right side.

Once you have overcome the forest belt on narrow paths, you will find yourself in an impressive environment. The imposing backdrop of the Gamskögel and the Mödringkogel can be marveled at.

Passing the Mödringkogel we enter the paradise. Paradise is the name given to the cirque that stretches between Mödringkogel, Krugkoppe, Speikleitenberg and Kettentalkogel.

The gentle cirque of Paradise, the flat and wide valley floor, bordered by the steep flanks with the steep gullies, make the heart of the ski tourer beat faster.

On the flat floor of the cirque we climb into the valley. A small steep step forms the ascent to the saddle. From there we continue to the top of Krugkoppe. The view of the surrounding mountains from the Zirbitzkogel and up to the Koralm is overwhelming.

The descent to the valley takes place over the wide slopes.

More information

from the north

On the A9, the Pyhrnautobahn, take the Trieben exit. From there take the B114 in the direction of Judenburg to Hohentauern. After 6 km turn left into the Triebental. Follow the road to the end towards Bergerhube.

From the south

Via the S36, the Murtalschnellstraße to Judenburg, continue on the B 317 to the turn-off for the B114 in the direction of Liezen. Follow the road until Hohentauern (about 35 km). Drive 3 km in the direction of Trieben. Turn into the Triebental on the right side. Follow the road to the end until Bergerhube.

From the Bergerhube we choose the path either across the large meadow (south of the Bergerhube) or the marked path towards Gamskögel. At the end of the meadow you meet the marked path again. Follow this path and pay attention at the turnoff to the Kettentörl, so as not to choose the wrong path (keep right in the direction of Gamskögel).

At about 1400 m you have to pay attention to the avalanche corridors of the Kleiner Griesstein. You reach this area, which is easily recognizable, when you leave the forest at about 1400m and before you reach the forest road.

After the avalanche line about 200m further on the forest road, passing under the Mödring hut, our route branches off to the SW (right) towards Mödringkogel. First on a clearing, then through forest we meet an open area at the foot of the Mödringkogel.

Now we turn to the southeast. After a smaller steep step (<30°), we continue in cirque in the cropped terrain at the foot of the Mödringkogel. Now the paradise opens up, the cirque bordered by Mödringkogel, Krugkoppe, Speikleitenberg and Kettentalkogel. To be noted here are the gullies from the Mödringkogel, which sometimes dump snow slabs in the Paradies. In this case, one must choose a track away from the slopes of the Mödringkogel.

Already we catch sight of our tour goal: a striking round peak that borders our cirque in the SW. A small steep step around 30 °, leads us to the saddle between Krugkoppe and the foothills of Mödringkogel. On the saddle we might set up a ski depot. If the conditions are good (the Krugkoppe is often very blown off), it is possible to reach the summit on skis without problems.

In the area of the ascent track, the descent is over the wide slopes into the valley.

Bergerhube, soup and pastries not to be missed!
