This easy and peaceful walk leads through the Wildschönauer Hochtal, a valley to the south of the village of Auffach. The trails are kept in excellent condition throughout the winter, making the walk also suitable for children and older guests. The route begins at the Gasthof Schönangeralm and leads along the banks of a stream, past the Zirbenkapelle chapel and a number of abandoned mountain huts. To the south-west stands the mighty Großer Beil (2,309 metres), the highest mountain in the valley.
