Description

From the "Kühle Rast", hiking tail no. 8 leads you to the romantic Schwarzachtal. After a narrow forest area, you will hike along a slight incline past the rippling Schwarzach and you can enjoy the impressive landscape. Keep your eyes open- you might even discover one or two marmots. After 5 kilometres, a much-deserved reward in the form of a hearty meal break or a heavenly apple strudel awaits in the rustic Schwarzachalm (1.378m). Up to this point, the hiking trail is also very suitable for families with prams or buggies.
After reinforcements, surefooted hikers can continue on the hiking trail to "upper Schwarzachalm" (1.648m).
Tip: Experienced mountain climbers can alos ascend the Schwarzachscharte (2.475m)
