Karlstal Gorge

Highlight (Segment) • Gorge

From the street you also get an impressive view of the rocky gorge in which the Moosalbe flows downhill. The Karlstalschlucht is characterized by mossy rocks and small waterfalls. It is also a popular highlight among hikers.

Can you cool down very well after or during a tour on hot days. Only the price / performance ratio for the food is not quite right. Should be improved.

Shelter at the Iggelbach Ascent

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The refuge itself is of course not a highlight. But once you've cycled up here from Iggelbach, it marks the point where you can take a breather.
