Description

From Erlsbach, the route follows the toll road to the Alpengasthof Patsch, where a car park is available. After a short hike, you will come to the Alpengasthaus Oberhaus (currently closed). This is where the Nationalpark Hohe Tauern protected area begins.

From the inn, the hike continues along an alpine road, past the idyllic Seebachalm, to the historic Jagdhausalm, the oldest alpine village in Austria. From there you reach the Arventalalm, which is managed by South Tyrolean farmers.

The route offers a perfect combination of nature, history and culinary delights.
