Giant - AdventureTrail

Directions

I can easily reach the summit of the Hohe Salve with the Hexenwasser Söll gondola lift or the Salvenbahn gondola lift. Once at the top, I can enjoy the magnificent views. I can spend a few quiet moments in Austria's highest pilgrimage church before starting my hike. A winding hiking trail leads me down towards the Rigi, where another small climb awaits me, taking me up to the Kleine Salve. Once I reach the top, I am treated to completely new views. I can take some funny pictures by the giant sticks and let my gaze wander over the lake.

Giants - Adventure Trail | Going-Ellmau

Having arrived on the Astberg Going with the chairlift, I experience the idyllic Astbergsee lake, which is rightly called the Mirror of the Emperor! At the Pony Alm, I can explore the area on the backs of ponies. The high-altitude hiking trail leads towards Ellmi's Zauberwelt. There I hike uphill and downhill through meadows and forests in unspoiled nature...
