Hiking

On this tour, you will experience firsthand that a hut-to-hut and alpine pasture-to-alpine pasture hike has more to offer than just the expected breathtaking views. The views are of course there – the panorama from Hirnkopf alone has it all.

But there are also meadows and forests and insights into unique habitats between Kuster and Hirnkopf. A good opportunity to pause and reflect on all these wonderful impressions is offered to you on the Hirnkopf at an altitude of 1,840 meters with a visit to the restaurant.

August 15, 2023,Wanderung zum Hirnkopf und Flatnitzersee

The hike to the Brain Head should actually be relatively easy, but we also took a wrong path that led us to steep sections :D. But the hike was beautiful and also took us surrounded by trees all the way to the top. There is a large field at the top from where we then hiked our way down to …
