Description

Start this picturesque round tour at the hiking starting point ‚Going Center’ (former tourist information office) and hike north-west past the ‘Going Sport’ sport shop and the Pizzeria Primavera through the underpass and past the Vitalhotel Sonnenhof.

In the middle of the Rettweg settlement, there is a turn-off on the right which you follow until you reach a specially prepared winter trail. Snow-covered trees accompany you through the valley until you take the path uphill to the right and arrive at the Goinger sun plateau around the district ‘Schwendterdörfl’. Enjoy the peace and quiet with a marvellous view of the Wilder Kaiser.
 
Follow the prepared winter hiking trail around the ‘Schwendterdörfl’ at the foot of the Wilder Kaiser. When you are heading south again and the groomed trail joins the Schwendterweg, you can make a short stop at the ‘s’Kaiser Ladl’ (self-service store) to discover the variety of regional products.
 
From there, follow the road towards the village until you reach the Raiffeisenbank underpass, which leads you back to the village.
