Stage Ellmau-Scheffau

Giant - AdventureTrail

  • Starting point: Hartkaiser
  • Destination: Brandstadlbahn
  • Pure walking time: 1 hour
  • Length: 3 km
  • Level: Easy (suitable for baby carriages)

Directions

Ascent with the 10-seater Hartkaiserbahn Ellmau gondola up 1,500 meters to the Hartkaiser. Once at the top, the motto in the Magic World is "sensory intoxication". After experiencing Ellmi's Zauberwelt, I follow the panoramic trail towards Brandstadl, which has been awarded the hiking seal of approval. A wide hiking trail takes me to the next Mountain theme park - the KaiserWelt Scheffau at the Brandstadl. This is where everyday life ends and the fantasy world begins as soon as I enter the KaiserWald through the castle gate. Finally, I float comfortably down into the valley on the Brandstadlbahn and take the KaiserJet, the free bus service, back to the starting point in Ellmau.
