It covers a distance of 17 kilometres and goes past beautiful natural treasures and, particularly in spring and summer, offers a range of possibilities to hike in and around Zell am See.

The „Top of Salzburg“ viewing platform at 3,029 m on the Kitzsteinhorn opens up unique perspectives of impressive three thousand metre peaks on your hike – including some of the highest mountains in Austria.
