Description
This contrasting circular route offers insights into the local cultural landscape and reveals hidden natural treasures of Lunz am See. The hiking path quickly leads upwards and rewards at the Rauschmauer (838 m) with magnificent views into the Bodingbach valley as well as the surrounding mountain world. On the ridge, a comfortable path leads through a rustic forest area with gnarled trees. On a slightly descending path, you walk out of the forest. Here, the picturesque landscape of the Ahorn valley opens up, with its well-kept farms and splendid panoramic views. In the middle of this valley, you occasionally encounter exotic alpacas that have found a home here. This mostly untouched natural landscape is also a breeding area for the rare black stork. There is also a variety of wild herbs, plants, and flowers to discover. On your way back, the railway experience trail offers insights into the local industrial culture.
