National Park Walk: Innergschlöss

Considered one of the most beautiful valley ends of the Eastern Alps, Innergschlöss is a real gem. And this walk is a jewel, providing hikers a unique opportunity to experience the breathtaking beauty of Hohe Tauern National Park and of the mighty glaciers surrounding Großvenediger, one of Austria’s grandest mountains. This easy National Park trail into Innergschlöss provides an amazing route to surprising panoramas of Großvenediger Mountain Rainier and the craggy peaks of the Hohe Tauern Range. The gorgeous wilderness area, a pristine Alpine pasture village and a rock chapel make photography stops almost mandatory. Brimming with colourful splashes of rare wildflowers, this is also an excellent destination for wildlife viewing. Along the way, be alert for marmots and adders, and it is not unusual to see a bearded vulture, also known as the lammergeyer. With a wingspan of up to 2.9 m, it is one of the largest birds that is able to fly in the world.
