Description

This tour is particularly well suited for those who prefer going downhill rather than uphill. Walk to the Hartkaiserbahn valley station and take the funicular, the quick and easy way to reach the Hartkaiser at 1,550 metres. On the summit you’ll meet Ellmi the frog and his magic world, where there’s so much to enjoy that you can easily spend half a day or even the whole day here.

The Rübezahlschnitzweg then takes you from the Hartkaiser mountain to the rustic Rübezahl-Alm.

The mountain hut is a popular destination all year-round and is well-known from numerous radio and television broadcasts.
