Description

Start your hiking day at the hiking information center in the village center. The Wochenbrunnweg (No. 14) runs across the 27-hole golf course, past farmhouses, through the forest and uphill through the Spatlahner-Klamm. After about one and a half hours, you will reach the Wochenbrunner Alm with its large panoramic terrace at 1,085 m. This excursion destination is particularly popular with families: at the wildlife park with stags, deer and mountain goats, children can get up close to the otherwise shy Alpine animals, while parents enjoy the magnificent view. The tour continues via the Ellmauer Steinkreis, an energetic, self-contained natural power field on the Wilder Kaiser. After about 30 minutes on a forest trail, you reach the rustic Riedlhütte. The way back takes you via the forest path to the Haflingertränke and past the Koglhof llama farm through the district of Biedring back to the village center.
