Hiking

This circular hike is a truly enjoyable tour, taking you to many cozy, scenic mountain huts and the spectacular Riedinger Waterfalls. It starts at the parking lot on the Mandlwandstraße road, from where you climb, at times with a challenging climb, to the Windrauchegg Alm. The imposing rocky peaks of the Höchkönig rise before you.

Next, the idyllic Riegingalm with its colorful flower meadows is on the agenda, and a little later, you'll marvel at the Riedinger Waterfalls. A narrow path leads you further to the Widderbergalmen, which invite you to take a well-deserved break. From the highest point of the hike, you'll finally walk past the Koppalm and back to the starting point.

Windrauchegg Alm

Highlight • Mountain Hut

A very beautiful, rustic alpine hut. The hosts are real guys. Super tasty food. Good snack options. The hosts can even tell you where to find nice mushrooms. The homemade schnapps is delicious!
