Description

From the town centre, follow Bahnstraße to Alter Zammerberger Weg. There, follow the signs to paths 2 and 2a. Shortly after the last house in Anreit, the forest path branches off to the right. This path leads steadily uphill in several hairpin bends. You reach ‘Ebenmoos’, a beautiful spot with pretty weekend cottages, a small chapel and a marvellous view of the valley. From there, continue along the forest path to the Zammer Alm and the Zams ski hut.
