Description

The hike starts at the Ganghofer Museum in Leutasch and takes you to the viewpoint on the Heights Path in just about ten minutes. From here, you get a great view of the Leutasch Valley and the Hohe Munde. A sun lounger invites you to relax for a moment and enjoy the beautiful scenery. The platform is a quiet spot to simply unwind and take in the surroundings.

For those who want to extend the hike a bit, the Heights Path offers a nice loop trail. The path leads from Kirchplatzl to Gasse and back – a relaxed route that takes you through peaceful nature.

After the hike, you can stop at the Kühtaierhof to enjoy refreshing drinks and hearty, delicious food. A perfect way to end a lovely hike.
