Fantastic hike across some valleys with a wonderful panorama of the surrounding mountain world of the Radstädter Tauern.
A panoramic hike that scores right at the start with a real highlight: the Johanneswasserfall. A small excursion (walking time 10min - path no. 24) to this natural spectacle is really very recommendable.

Possibility for lunch: Südwienerhütte
