Brief description

The Kesselgraben route allows you to discover the winter landscape quietly and offers one of the most beautiful views of the town center including the parish church of Lackenhof.

Description

At the highest point of the Kesselgraben, the more leisurely Mandlboden winter hiking trail connects, where you then come directly to the rustic Mandlboden hut, with a wonderful view of the Gr. & Kl. Ötscher. From there it goes back to the town via the forest chapel.
