Description

From Views and Perspectives

The scenic beautiful hike along the newly established Obergurgl Stone Pine Forest theme route delights young and old alike. The fresh air and charming spots invite you to linger. The idyllic path through the approximately 300-year-old stone pine forest teaches interesting facts about the stone pine, animals, and much more. Alternatively, there is the option to hike to the Schönwies Hut: Past the Rotmoos Waterfall, the path leads to the Schönwies Hut, which offers a breathtaking view of the Rotmoos Valley. The Water Strider Trail "Rotmoostal" also passes here. The descent is either back through the stone pine forest or along the forest road.
