Mountain hikes Volkzeiner Hütte

Außervillgraten / Villgraten Mountains
Difficulty ratings: easy
Route length: 13.4 km
Duration: 3:30 h

The Winkeltal valley in East Tyrol is - well - a particularly beautiful spot for a peaceful autumn hike. Pristine and secluded. And between the gold-colored larches, the typical wooden houses of the region fit particularly well into the autumnal picture. This is how autumnal deceleration works!

Tour character

Easy hike on a wide gravel path that climbs only slightly up to the Volkzeiner Hütte. Ideal for families and particularly rewarding in autumn, when the wooded slopes of the valley glow in golden-yellow colors. Built in the typical Villgrater wooden style, the Volkzeiner Hütte is a wonderful place to stop for a bite to eat and is famous for game dishes prepared by local hunters. Ideal hike to experience the advantages of the Villgraten valley and the branching Winkeltal valley: Tranquillity and unspoilt nature.
