\r\n\tGuided hike<\/p>\n\n

\r\n\tWith Erich to his favourite spots<\/h3>\r\n\n\n
\r\n\t\n\n

Every week it\u2019s time to pack your backpack and go hiking together. Together with Erich, whom many guests know and appreciate from the bar, you head out to his favourite spots. He has been part of our team for many years and also loves being out in the mountains. He knows the most beautiful paths, the alpine flowers and the places with the best views. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the morning, you travel together on the Weissenhof buses to the starting point of the hike. Along the way, there is often a stop at a mountain hut, with time for refreshments, conversation and relaxed time together. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the afternoon, you return to Gut Weissenhof with wonderful memories, shared moments and perhaps one or two new acquaintances.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/section>

\r\n\tHiking around the Weissenhofalm<\/h2>\r\n\n\n
\r\n\t\n\n

Our own Weissenhofalm \u2013 Hintergnadenalm \u2013 is also a starting point for numerous hikes into the surrounding mountains. From here, trails lead to the Johannes Waterfall, to neighbouring alpine pastures and further up to scenic peaks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The alpine pasture is also located along the children\u2019s themed trail \u201cAlles-Alm\u201d. This connects several alpine pastures of the Gnadenalm and, at various stations, shares interesting facts about alpine farming, the landscape and the lives of the animals. With a bit of luck, you may also meet our oxen along the way, as they spend the summer up here. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On our in-house hike with Erich, you may also head up to our own alpine pasture, where a hearty snack awaits after the hike.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\r\n\t\"Eigene<\/picture>\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/section>\r\n\r\n
