Description

From the Sonnberg car park at the biomass cogeneration plant, a forest path leads to the Zöhreralm mountain hut (1,334 metres, time ca. 1 hour 15 minutes). Follow the steep track to the “Adlerhorst” (1,230 metres). From here, a scenic switchback trail winds its way down back to the car park.
