Highlight • Mountain Hut

Just beautiful, this small and steep path through the alpine area of the Draugensteinalm. There are two huts that provide you with the most delicious local delicacies (cheese, butter, bread, bacon, sausage, schnapps): the Draugsteinalm-Steinmannhütte and the Draugsteinalm-Schrambachhütte.
