Wildschönauer Höhenweg
****
This high-altitude trail has everything you could wish for: several peaks are easily crossed, magnificent views in all directions throughout and, in between, there are always rustic mountain huts where you can fill up on calories for the route, which should not be underestimated.
Although the Wildschönauer Höhenweg is long and leads over several peaks, they are all rather tame fellows. This makes it a real dream trail for people who want to enjoy great views without high technical demands. Provided you are in good physical condition. At the beginning, the cable car to the Markbachjoch takes away most of the elevation gain. Feldalphorn, Schwaigberghorn, Breiteggern and Breiteggspitze are all remarkable panoramic peaks. The Käsealm at the start and the Schönangeralm provide insights into cheese production and offer many home-made products for consumption. On the way, you can take a slight detour to the rustic, pleasantly simple Feldalm. All along the way, you are accompanied by fantastic views across the Kitzbühel Alps to many mountain ranges in the Tyrolean Alps.
Starting from the mountain station of the Markbachjochbahn cable car (by the way, rides are included in the Wildschönau Card), you go on an extended hike.
From the Markbachjoch cable car take route nr. 2 past the Brixentaler Holzalm aka Cheese Alm. The route continues through the forest to the first peak, the Feldalphorn. Three more summits along the way provide unforgettable views.
The end of the hike is at the Schönanger Alm, at the very end of the valley. The cheese dairy there is one of the Wildschönau's "must-sees".
