Details for: From hut to hut over the Königsberg
Brief description
Dreamlike hike through the typical alpine pasture landscape of the Ybbstal Alps past many huts.
Description
The hike leads us along a pleasant hiking trail from the Ebnerbrand parking lot at the Kurzeck organic farm through the Siebenhütten alpine area over lush alpine pastures full of fragrant herbs. With only moderate ascent it passes contentedly grazing herds of cows. Now and then the surrounding forest of the Königsberg reveals dreamlike views of the surrounding mountain world. We repeatedly pass various alpine meadows and huts, such as Schlageralm, Vierhütten, Turnhöhe and Daucheralm, until we finally reach the managed "Kitzhütte". Here we find our well-deserved rest with a view of Hochkar and friendly hosts.
