The start is right in the center of Maria Alm, from where you comfortably ascend with the Natrun cable car. Here, the TOM Alpine Hut invites you for your first stop with its castle playground, petting zoo, and herb garden.
Of course, you can also head straight for the summit of Natrun. It's reachable after a gentle ascent. Here, the first highlight awaits you.
The magnificent Prinzensee with its stunning 360° panoramic view will enchant not only the little princesses and princes. Who knows, maybe Mom and Dad will be inspired by an exciting fairy tale, making long-distance hiking even easier.
The next stop is the Jufenalm, where an archery course and a wildlife enclosure await you.
Then it's on to the Grammlergut. If you still have energy to spare, you'll love the huge adventure playground right next to the hut.
Designed as a circular route, this hike is ideal for children as it offers plenty of variety!
