Description

Start this scenic circular hike at the Going Zentrum hiking starting point (formerly the tourist information office) and walk north-west past the Going Sport shop and Pizzeria Primavera, through the underpass and past the Vitalhotel Sonnenhof.

In the middle of the settlement in Rettweg, there is a turn-off on the right, which you follow until you reach a specially prepared winter trail. Trees covered in deep snow accompany you through the valley until you hike up the path to the right and arrive at the Going sunny plateau around the Schwendterdörfl. Enjoy the peace and quiet with the fantastic view of the Wilder Kaiser!

Follow the prepared winter hiking trail around the Schwendterdörfl at the foot of the Wilder Kaiser. When you are heading south again and the prepared path joins the Schwendterweg, it is worth making a short stop at s’Kaiser Ladl (self-service shop) to discover the variety of regional products.
 
From there, follow the road towards the village until you reach the underpass at the Raiffeisenbank, which leads you back into the village.
