Description

The Virgentaler Sonnseitenweg trail leads from Matrei in Osttirol via Virgen to Prägraten am Großvenediger and connects a number of rustic huts and mountain pastures. As the name suggests, the trail is perfect for sun lovers. There is hardly another long-distance hiking trail that can guarantee you as much sunshine as this one. The famous Umbal Falls are the crowning destination of the long-distance hiking trail, which leads from Matrei i.O. to this natural monument created by water in four days in the middle of the National Park Hohe Tauern. The Virgentaler Sonnseitenweg is particularly suitable for families who want to try a long-distance hike for the first time.
