Tour description

Discover wild herbs and enjoy nature – a relaxing hike for the whole family on the Schmittenhöhe.

A leisurely hiking trail leads from the Schmittenhöhebahn mountain station to the Sonnkogel, where everything revolves around native wild herbs. Children and adults alike can learn in a playful way which plants grow along the trail – and how they can be used in the kitchen. The tour takes place in a magnificent mountain setting, is family-friendly and can also be walked in the opposite direction.
