On this hike, you will not only be accompanied by the breathtaking scenery of the Hochkönig region, but also by some special highlights that will make your excursion unforgettable. A particularly recommended stop is the idyllic Peace Chapel, which blends harmoniously into nature and offers a peaceful oasis for contemplation and enjoyment. The gentle ascent to the Schloßberg and the subsequent descent to the Kräuteralm Arbesreitalm promise not only varied landscapes, but also a pleasant challenge for all hiking enthusiasts. Another highlight is the herb garden at Obersteghof at the end of your journey. Here you can not only admire the variety of fragrant herbs, but also take part in a possible herb workshop. This offers a unique opportunity to learn more about the local plants and deepen your knowledge of their use in the kitchen or for health.
