Start of the Smaragdweg (Habach Valley)

Highlight • Trail

Nice walking path that runs parallel to the normal path. The big advantage is that there are no cyclists or cars here. In addition, the path offers slightly more beautiful viewpoints than the main route.

Today, after several rainy days, the Emerald Trail was on the agenda. After rains one should have better chances to find emeralds or other stones. So today we also wanted to "Stoasuch'n".

Rain was forecast for the afternoon. The forecast, at least, promised no storms and mostly sunshine in the morning.

The Emerald Trail, a beautiful hiking trail along the roaring Habach. There are small water features and information along the way. At the Alpengasthof Alpenrose there was something hearty and mining tools to borrow. Unfortunately, we were caught in a heavy downpour and the kids had to give up their emerald hunt.

The best thing to do is to take the bus up, departure times 9am, 10am and 1.30pm (available online) and then walk leisurely back down.
