Description

From the valley station of the Rofan cable car, follow the path past the hotel Naturhotel Alpenblick until you reach the wooden bridge. Continue along the forest road to the Buchauer Alm*) mountain hut (1,385 metres). The return is via the same route.

Tip - take your toboggan with you: On the way back from the beginning of the path lighting, after about 1.6 kilometres, the Maurach toboggan run begins.

*) Sadly, the Buchauer Alm was destroyed in a tragic fire. It is not yet clear whether the mountain hut will be rebuilt.
