Tour information

There are many highlights to explore in the PillerseeTal. Timok's Wild World in Fieberbrunn not only offers a summer toboggan run, but also a forest ropes course and a wildlife enclosure...

For this stage, you first take the train or bus from St. Johann in Tirol to Fieberbrunn (free with the Kitzbühel Alps Guest Card). From the village centre, hike up the Kirchweg. At the fountain with the statue of a miner, you can fill your drinking bottles with wonderfully fresh water. By the way: the village got its name from this fountain! Margarethe Maultasch - a former Tyrolean princess - was cured of her fever by this water, hence the name Fieberbrunn.

Walk past the church and continue up the road to the beautiful Lauchsee lake. Due to its boggy water, it has a brownish colour and has pleasant bathing temperatures early in the summer.  You walk past beautiful farms to the end of the valley and turn left at one of the last farms "Schwarzhäusl" in the direction of Streuböden. The serpentine forest road winds its way first through the forest, then across open alpine pastures, offering wonderful views of the surrounding mountain peaks time and again. Zillstatt is the name of this valley cut that you hike through and which lies below the Wildseeloder area.
After the last large stable building, there are only a few more bends before you reach the highest point of today's tour. In winter, the ski area with platter lift is located here, in summer the cows graze on the alpine meadows. Cross the meadow and take a leisurely stroll to the middle station of the Streuböden gondola lift

Once you arrive at the middle station, Timok's Wild World awaits you! Here you are spoilt for choice - would you like to let off steam in Timok's forest ropes course, hurtle down the Timok's Alpine Coaster summer toboggan run or splash around in Timok's water games? Or would you prefer to do it all at once?
At the Streuböden middle station, you can really let off steam, discover, explore and chill out. Of course, there's also a place to stop for refreshments, the Streuböden Alm.

The Steinberg King is also up to mischief in the Pillerseetal valley. Can you conquer him by solving his riddles? The puzzle stations are hidden throughout the Pillerseetal valley and are waiting for you brave explorers!
