- Description

This hike leads you from the summit of the Gerlitzen alps down to Neugarten Almsee and its beautiful world of water. From there it goes past the Kammer hut to the gondola middle station. Here you can decide if you would like to immediately take the gondola back to the valley, or if you want to take the chairlift back to the summit to once again enjoy the majestic view.
