- Description
-
From the village center of Grossarl, you hike upstream along the river. Just after you have crossed the bridge, you will see an old mill. Earlier, grain was also ground here.
You contine along the river and then you pass several houses and the Zimmerei Gruberl as well as the building of the Kaiserbau. Then the path leads again through the snow-covered winter landscape until you finally reach Gasthof Neumayr, which is currently closed. Here you cross the river.
The route continues upstream. On the left, there is the Bichl Chapel. This chapel was built in the 17th century and is part of the Chapel Path. You continue and pass some farms until you finally reach a small rise. There is the Griesbichl Chapel, you continue and come to the Neuhof Chapel. From here you go around the tunnel and finally to Hüttschlag, where you take a break in the inns.
You go back on the same route or by public bus.
On the way back you have the opportunity to go the footpath along the street (stay on the street after Gasthof Neumayr). After about 1 km you see the Laireiting Chapel on your right. The chapel was built in 1860 by the Linsinger family. Like the Bichl Chapel, it belongs to the Chapel Path.
You can also take one direction by public bus. Since there are almost no steep parts on the whole route, this hike is also suitable for children's carriages or sleds.
