Description

The Lecknertal is located in Hittisau, the village with the most alps in Austria. A toll road takes you to the hiking car park. The route takes you along the sunny slope of the Hochhäderich-Hochgrat mountain range up to the Rohnenhöhe (at 1,639 m). It is worth taking a short detour to the nearby Lecknersee. Along this mountain hiking path - whose 660 m difference in altitude makes it hard-going - are six alps, four of which are where milk is processed there and then.

Directions

The Lecknertal is in Hittisau – withover 100 alps, it has the most alps of any villages in Austria. Six alps – including four dairy alps producing alpine cheese – are located on this hiking path on the Rohnehöhe summit. At the end of the really arduous mountain tour, the near-by Lecknersee invites you to rest a while.
