For mountain freaks and leisure bikers

While mountain freaks have plenty of challenges in the climbing walls of the Kampermauern among others, alpine leisure hikers can enjoy themselves mainly along the CircularHikingTrail „On Alpine Meadows” at the Hengstpass. Numerous managed alpine pastures and huts around the Hengstpass spoil their visitors with home made delicacies like cider, bacon, breads and much more. During winter time they also offer extensive snow shoe hikes through untouched snow landscapes starting at Rosenau am Hengstpass. For leisure bikers there is the mountain bike trail “Langfirst” from Haslersgatter to the Hengstpass pastures.
