Description

Forests, alpine pastures and mountain pines - this conditionally demanding day hike takes you up the ridge over steep paths in a romantic and lonely area. Before continuing, the Höhlensteinhaus lures you to your first stop. On the way to the Hundsalm you pass the peaks of Köglhörndl and Hundsalmjoch, which reward you with fantastic views. On the way back you can visit the ice cave before you return to the starting point through forests and alpine pastures. An extra detour allows you to stop at the Almgasthof Buchacker.
