At this point, turn left and follow the forest road for around 20 minutes. The path branches off from the forest road as a path called "Wandsteig", which you follow steeply uphill to the Zauchenalm. The path then joins a forest road again. Turn left and then take the right path at the fork in the path, which leads past the alpine huts to the alpine pasture.
Immediately after the crossing, turn right and follow recognizable paths in bends or in a direct climb to the upper edge of the Alm to another crossing (note: this requires a little intuition and orientation, there are markings on individual stones, as a rough guide you have to climb to the left of the stream).
At the upper end of the Zauchenalm, the path joins the forest road at the crossing. Directly opposite the crossing, the path - inconspicuous for the first few meters - goes into the forest. You now follow the path, always climbing, through a dense, dark spruce forest until it becomes flatter and leads to a crossing on the left under a pasture fence. Climb this again and after a few meters you gratefully reach a spring.
The last section from the spring is best taken along the right pasture fence through fairytale forest and alpine pastures over the tree line to the summit stone of the Amberger Alm. From now on it is flat and rewarded with a wonderful panorama, the path now heads north-west over the former Kulnighütte (unmanaged) to the Schwarzsee, the scenic highlight of the tour. After a short break, follow the signs down to the Schwarzseehütte.
If you leave the hut to the left here, there is simply no help for you! The Pirker family hosts guests with passion and offer sensational dishes that are also a feast for the eyes.
The descent to Afritz is best done via path no. 28, which leads to the Millstätter Straße (B98) at the level of Mühlenweg in the valley. From Mühlenweg it is about 10 minutes to the bus stop opposite the Strobl bakery.
