“The Idyllic": On this leisurely hike, you can enjoy the beauty of nature, the fascination of the Granitzenbach natural monument and a refreshment stop at the idyllic Waldheimhütte and the stylish Seetalblick.

Park your car in the parking lot at the Waldheimhütte, then put on your hiking boots and off you go. Cross wonderful forests on fragrant forest paths until you reach the Granitzenbach stream. After a short “recharge your batteries” by the rippling waters, you can either turn around and hike back the way you came or take an enjoyable 3-kilometre loop through the idyllic village of St. Wolfgang. Here you can stop off at the Seetalblick restaurant and treat yourself to a delicious meal. At the end of the hike, we recommend a stop at the Waldheimhütte, which impresses with its charm and alpine flair.
