From the valley station of the Hartkaiserbahn to the Rübezahl-Alm and via the Schnitzfigurenweg to Ellmi’s Zauberwelt.
You start at the hiking information center in the village center and walk towards the Hartkaisebahn. Immediately after the valley station building, turn right onto hiking trail no. 7. Passing the Hausleit`n Stub`n (only open in winter), you reach a path that you follow to the middle station of the cable car. Now continue for a short distance on hiking trail no. 4 until you reach the rustic Rübezahl-Alm with its spectacular terrace facing the Wilder Kaiser. This is where Austria's longest Schnitzfigurenweg (no. 3a) begins, leading up to the Jägerhütte (1,400 m).
Just one more short, steep climb and you reach the Bergstation Hartkaiser (1,520 m). In Ellmi's Zauberwelt, children can go on a treasure hunt in the fairytale forest, while the adults explore the nature trail. Hiking trail no. 1 leads you back down to the valley via the Berggasthaus Hochschwendt.
Our tip: Hikers with tired feet can also use the gondola lift for the ride down to the valley.
