- Description
-
The Kanzelrundweg is a circular route which leads in a family-friendly distance to sights and attractions such as the old cable railway station of the Kanzelbahn, the solar observatory, the adventure park Gerlitzen and many more. Along the way you will find information boards about the local flora and fauna.
- Directions
-
Starting from the mountain station of the Kanzelbahn, follow either the paved road or the parallel forest and meadow path to the Kanzelhöhe where you join the Kanzelhöhenpromenade (path no. 176). After a few minutes' walk, you reach the old mountain station of the Kanzelbahn on the right-hand side. The paved road leads to a lovely gravel path, along which information about the regional flora and fauna is given. A few minutes' walk after the last information board you reach the highest point of the circuit with the Waldtratte. You cross the slope here and reach a large car park. From here it goes over the paved road again through a short tunnel (caution!) downhill to a left turn. Here you turn sharp left in the direction of the reservoir (path no. 31) and reach the starting point again at the mountain station of the Kanzelbahn.
