Highlight • Trail

The dead trees are impressive and the hike is not very demanding. When it is wet or at low temperatures, you should be very careful not to fall, as the path then becomes a stream.

Many bare trees, infested by bark beetles, still reach into the sky. But nature is reclaiming the habitat, and between the skeletal trunks, bushes, herbs, and especially small spruces and firs are growing.

Very nice and varied route, enjoyed in the best weather - due to the terrain and the Berggasthof Dreisessel being closed on Monday afternoon, but a bit far.

If you want to take a shortcut, you can turn off towards the Steinernes Meer at the Dreiländereck. The view over the lake landscape is an experience when the visibility is good.
