Description

Passing the Marienkapelle, you hike on trail no. 8 up the Hausberg. At the jezz Alm – the last refreshment stop for several hours – you branch off onto trail no. 11. Follow this path past the Höhenangeralm, Botenalm, and Schwendteralm. The panorama trail leads you past the Tanzbodenteich to the Hartkaiser mountain station and the Restaurant Bergkaiser. Via trail no. 2, you hike to the Ranhartalm, where you can taste and buy fresh cheese. Trail no. 7 leads you back down into the valley.

Tip:
Take provisions with you, as the alpine huts along the Elferweg are not serviced. Important: Sturdy footwear!
For hikers with less endurance, the total duration can be shortened by approx. 1 hour by using the Astberglift or by approx. 2.5 hours by using the Hartkaiserbahn.
