Description

Setting out from the bus stop, walk out of the valley until you reach a bridge. Before the bridge follow the groomed winter hiking trail on the right. This will take you along the Pitze river through the wild and romantic Kitzgarten gorge until you reach the hamlet Wiese. To return, follow the same route or, for ease, use the shuttle bus to return to your starting point. To shorten your wait for the bus, stop for a coffee at Hotel Gasthof Wiese.
