Natura Mystica Adventure Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Beginning of the Natura Mystica adventure trail, which begins in Winkl an der Möll in the west of Heiligenblut. There is interesting information about natural phenomena along the way. In this section, for example, round-cut rocks that have been formed over time ("As the wheel of time turns, soft water forms hard stone") by meltwater and glacial grinding. On the further path you reach the Kachlmoor and the Gössnitzfall.

View of Gößnitz Waterfall

Highlight • Viewpoint

From up here, you have a fantastic view of the Gößnit Waterfall. Below you, it rushes down a narrow mountain slope from a height of 70 meters. This makes it one of the most powerful waterfalls in the Hohe Tauern National Park.

Leiterfall Falls

Highlight • Waterfall

The Leiterbach flows from the Leiterköpfe (three peaks above in the west) along the steep slopes down to the Möll or into the Mölltal. Shortly before the confluence it falls over rock faces into the depths. An interesting path leads from the hiking trail through the Mölltal, first to a wooden bridge over the Leiterbach below the waterfall at this point and then in serpentines on the steep slope east of the stream and the waterfall up to the Trogalm (see HL: "Challenging hiking trail"). There are exciting views of the waterfall from the side.

Briccius Chapel and Spring

Highlight • Religious Site

There you have to pause. This is where the story of Heiligenblut comes from.

The Sattleralm is a wonderful hiking destination. Food and drinks go well with the hut. Outstanding!

Haritzersteig Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Exciting path for hikes in the Mölltal between Heiligenblut and Trogalm or Glocknerhaus or for corresponding circular hikes. Nice alternative to the path down in the valley through Winkl. Magnificent views of the Mölltal and the surrounding mountains, as well as magnificent views across to the other side of the forest path with the Gössnitz waterfall (see photos!).
