Hiking trail

Austria's best known Romantics and artists all set up their easels in the Echerntal Valley. In the 1900s, this valley was known as "The Place for Romantics".

Admire your unspoilt natural surroundings, look out for rushing mountain streams and waterfalls along the way. You will also be able to marvel at the natural beauty of the "Gletscheröfen" - natural pools created by glaciers. You can also discover how people first came to the Echerntal Valley. Emperors and kings, hikers and mountain climbers, Romantic artists, poets. literary figures, cave explorers, hunters and gamekeepers all made this a favourite spot.
