Hiking trip to commemorate: Hilde Huainig remains unforgettable!

Eisentratten, Österreich - On June 29, 2025, a special trip took place to commemorate Hilde Huainig, who was a member of the board of the pensioners' association for many years and whose sudden death touched many people deeply. Organized by Gerhard Schulnig and Helene Pirker, the hike started with the first rest at the Rastplatz Eisenrattten, where a coffee break was taken. The route led over the Katschberg through the Zederhaus valley into the Riedingtal, a picturesque area known for its breathtaking mountain landscape.

The hiking group had the opportunity to visit the Schließersee, which invited to the landscape for a cozy walk. Lunch was taken in the Schließßeralm at 1,500 meters above sea level before continuing to the Gruberhütte in the afternoon via a well -developed forest path. The return to the Schließertalm was accompanied by vocals, which was the youngest community.

weather and journey home

The domestic return trip had to be started a little earlier than planned due to the onset of rain. On the way back, the renewal of the bridge over the Steinbrückenbach on the A10 Tauern Autobahn was observed. The existing bridge structure is hydraulically raised by up to 8 meters to make room for a new bridge. This work is part of an ongoing modernization of the important infrastructures in the region.

The Tauern A110 Autobahn plays a central role in the connection between Salzburg and Villach and is an important north-south connection for vacationers on the way to Italy. It extends over 194 kilometers and already shows that it is also heavily frequented in the summer months, which often leads to traffic disruptions. According to stumeller-karte on the same day there was a traffic jam between the Zederhaus and St. Michael im Lungau, with a loss of time of about 2 minutes.
