This highlight for pleasure hikers starts at the Marin parking lot in Virgen and leads first along trail no. 923 and the All Saints Chapel to the Gottschaunalm. At the first of the three huts you will be rewarded with a fragrant blossom and crystal clear views. The path to the Schmiedleralm can be covered in just under 30 minutes. Here you will be spoiled with homemade products. The third hut is only a few hundred meters away: the Nilljochhütte with its large sun terrace is the crowning glory. The way back to the parking lot is partly on the trail, partly on the forest road.
