Mountain hikes Ranach circular route

A scenic hike on the Klaunzerberg

Description

The starting point for this hike is the centre of Matrei in East Tyrol. Next to the parish church, a road winds its way up the northern side in four hairpin bends to the “Klaunzerberg”. From here on, the path levels out and you can enjoy the panoramic view of the Tauern municipality and the sight of the mighty ice giants of the Malhamkees in the Virgental valley. The road continues on almost level ground (up to this point, the walk is also suitable for pushchairs) before joining a forest path that leads down to the valley floor and the hamlet of “Ranach”. From there, follow the Hildenweg back to the town centre.
