- Description
-
A winter hike with border crossing. Discover the deep winter region between Austria and Germany. Enjoy a hike through an unspoilt landscape.
It does not always have to be skiing, snowboarding or cross-country skiing. On almost 81 kilometres of cleared paths hikers roam through the snow-covered fairytale landscape. On the way, cosy huts invite you to stop for a break. Sitting by the open fire, warming up with a Jaga tea or fortifying yourself with a snack for the next few kilometres - this is how you can enjoy snow walks to the full.
- Directions
-
From the church in Schattwald in western direction and through the district Kappl along the river Vils. Cross the Vils at the bridge and continue on Rehbachstraße to the crossing Unterjoch. Turn left and follow the path via the district Steinenberg to Unterjoch. The way back can be done on the same way or via Oberjoch to Schattwald.

- Equipment
-
An up-to-date and well-kept/maintained equipment (shoes, sticks and clothes) not only provides a considerable degree of safety but also makes winter hiking much easier. Sun protection (high protection factor and possibly sunglasses) as well as sufficient liquid should not be forgotten.
- Safety instructions
-
It should be noted that winter hiking also involves an increased risk of accidents and injuries. Especially in winter, special attention must be paid to the condition of the paths. Suitable clothing, good footwear and possibly hiking sticks provide additional safety. Stay on the marked paths.
