Description

You start at the hiking information center in the village center and walk towards the Hartkaisebahn. Immediately after the valley station building, turn right onto hiking trail no. 7. Passing the Hausleit`n Stub`n  (only open in winter), you reach a path that you follow to the middle station of the cable car. Now continue for a short distance on hiking trail no. 4  until you reach the rustic Rübezahl-Alm with its spectacular terrace facing the Wilder Kaiser. This is where Austria's longest Schnitzfigurenweg (no. 3a) begins, leading up to the Jägerhütte (1,400 m).
