Path of Mindfulness

A path that fosters mindfulness toward oneself and the environment through conscious experiences of nature and spiritual inspiration

Where the wild heart beats
At the Almtalerhaus, the most alpine stage lies ahead, where you’ll be on your own for long stretches. You’ll need to climb nearly 200 meters in elevation to reach the Ringsattel—the pass into the Steyr Valley. On the trail, be sure to watch your step around the roots.....
