The mountain restaurant is called Hinteregg – it even says so in the photo above the entrance! Wednesday and Thursday are rest days and the restaurant is closed.

Beautiful mountain restaurant with overnight accommodation. We spent our last night there on our long-distance hike from Tarifa (Spain) to Switzerland and can highly recommend the accommodation.

In about 2.5 hours you can take a wonderful hike from the zoo along the Kobold Trail to Aspisee. I have rarely walked through such a pretty forest. In many places you feel like you are in a fairytale book. Lots of moss, special trees and wonderful winding paths. After a rainy day you run the risk of getting wet feet on some sections of the route ;-)
