Truly a picture for the gods, as the St. Valentin Chapel towers high above the Zillergründl reservoir. But this is a sight worth working for...
What a place! High above the Zillergründl reservoir, the St. Valentin Chapel clings to the slopes of the Reichenspitz group. The path there leads along numerous, sometimes steep serpentines. The views become ever more impressive and surefootedness is required. After the work, you can enjoy the enchanting view over the reservoir and the surrounding mountains. Refreshments possible at Adlerblick.
The hike starts behind the picturesque restaurant "Einkehr zum Adlerblick", 1,900 m. From here, directional signs lead you to St. Valentin Chapel, 2.250 m. The path you are about to tread is narrow and initially ascends gently in switchbacks towards the chapel. It requires sure footing and a head for heights. However, the effort pays off: Once you reach the top, you'll be treated to a breathtaking view of Speicher Zillergründl and the majestic Zillertal mountain range. The return journey follows the same path.
