The hiking trail in Obertraun through the Koppental valley is a beautiful ramble along a river - the Koppentraun. The Koppentraun fills the Hallstättersee with crystal-clear glacier water. The Koppental valley and the hiking trail of the same name are highlights for active holidays in the Dachstein Salzkammergut

Themed trail with the small wonders of nature

Drops of water turn to stone - and produce all kinds of other marvellous things. This can be seen in Koppenwinkl, a romantic cauldron beneath the giant walls of the Dachstein massif, where a themed trail puts the small wonders of nature in perspective.

To the tour:

From Bahnhof Obertraun Dachsteinhöhlen you walk past the catholic church and get directly via the Stiegergasse up to the Höhenweg Nr. 1. Follow the hiking trail above the village of Obertraun through the Sarsteinwald to Obertraun Koppenbrüllerhöhle railway station.

Continue over the Traunbrücke bridge. A detour to the Koppenbrüllerhöhle should not be missed. The Koppenbrüllerhöhle is the youngest of the Dachstein caves and shows you the unexpected course the water takes in the Dachstein mountains.Depending on the weather conditions above the Dachstein mountains, you can actually hear the cool water of the active water cave roaring more or less vigorously.
Behind the Gasthof Koppenrast, one of the best culinary addresses in the Salzkammergut, you branch off to the right to Feriencamp der Kinderfreunde and then hike to Koppenwinklsee.

Follow the forest road to the Koppenwinklalm, then turn right and take hiking trail no. 2 over the Hagenbach and Bühlerbach. Then cross the Traun and follow hiking trail no. 6 along the river. Follow the signposted Höll-Karl-Weg past the sports field, over the railway crossing to Koppenstraße and left back to the railway station.

The Inner Salzkammergut is an Eldorado for big and small cave explorers. In the depths of the mountain world, you can explore the extensive underground network, usually with a guide.

As highlights, we suggest a visit to the Dachstein Giant Ice Cave (it is one of the largest ice caves in the world) as well as the mammoth cave
