Tour information

Walk initially through the wild, romantic Griesbachklamm. At the end of the gorge, keep left to reach Breitaualmen. The path proceeds past lovely, old Alpine inns. From the pretty chapel cross a steep path meanders through fields of mountain pine up to the Kirchberg (1678 m). Kirchberg is the highest elevation on
the Kalkstein and provides a wonderful panoramic view. Via a narrow, steep path, hike down towards Adlerspoint. Along a forest road you cross the peaceful mountain plateau. Descend either via the Huberalm or Angerlalm.

TIP: Bring snacks and drinks with you – there is only one refreshment stop option towards the end of the tour!
