Description

This tour is suitable for families and pleasure seekers. Walk to the valley station of the Hartkaiserbahn. Take the gondola (with a valid mountain railway ticket) comfortably up to the Hartkaiser at 1,550 m. At the top, a short circular path leads through the forest to the photo point at the panoramic picture frame with the Wilder Kaiser in the background. Leisurely return to the mountain station; before taking the gondola back down to the valley, you can enjoy the warming rays of sunshine and the magnificent view of the surrounding mountains on the terrace of the Panoramarestaurant Bergkaiser.

You can also extend this loop to the Tanzbodensee - additional walking time there and back approx. 1 h 10 min.
