Exercise in clean mountain air

Hiking all day long


Innumerable marked walking trails invite you to enjoy the mountain world of the Hohe Tauern. From a family-friendly stroll through mountain pastures, accompanied by the tinkle of cow bells, to the high-alpine hiking routes with more rugged terrain and rocks, you have a wide choice of walks.

Choose from the wide green valley floor with its walking and cycle paths, or make your way up the foothills through cool green forests and pastures, up through the ragged rocks, where you may well get a glimpse of wild Marmots (like giant hamsters), and on to the rock faces, where you really need ropes and experience. All the time you should keep an eye out for circling eagles and bussards that live in these mountains


Our National Park Rangers and mountain leaders, who are highly trained experts, can help you if you want to be professionally guided through this beautifull mountain landscape, where from the mountain tops, over 30 peaks, each over 3,000 meters (10,000 feet) can be seen.

 

 


Relaxed hiking

Try our conducted walks with selected guides with a taxi transfer up to the  forest boundary where your walk proper will start.

This gives you the advantage of taking your first steps in the cool forest with the best, fresh, healthy air, and you arrive at the mountain pasture totally fit, so you also can enjoy the wonderful view of more than 30 peaks rising 3.000 meters above sea level.

Culture landscape path Piesendorf Niedernsill

From Piesendorf/Walchen or Niedernsill/Steindorf the new culture landscape path leads you to the Nagelkoepfel - where you have an amazing view over the Salzachtal and the Hohen Tauern.

The Nagelkoepfel is one of the earliest celtic settlements and as such it's a energy centre with "Keltenwiegen" to relax and refuel energy.

The way skirts a herb garden (Krapfbauer), an original wood farmhand bark hut, a "Kneippanlage", art in the landscape and the newly built chapel at the Nagelkoepfel. On the display boards along the way you will find diagrams with various information and pictures about the area.


Nature Trails

10 display boards inform you about the river, copper mining, forestry past and present, development of the Hohe Tauern national park, amphibian migration and the development of the "frog fence", which saves the lives of frogs all around the world.
