The tour

A circular hiking trail that blends beautifully into the landscape about 100-200 metres above the Ennstal at the beginning of the Kleinsölktal. Through old villages and forests you can also catch a glimpse of very old farmsteads. The wide view into the Ennstal formed by glaciers and deep into the Niederen Tauern allows you to enjoy the naturalness of this area.

Turn-by-turn directions
From the Dörfl you walk along the municipal road up to Gelsenberg at the large farm, named "Bauer". Continue up the road until you see the Blasenebner farm. From there you walk through unprepared terrain through a small area of forest and meadow. This section has a maximum of well-trodden, not cleared sections. Icy spots are possible in winter. We now go downhill on a forest path to the Reith village. A short stretch along the road before you turn left across the Dörfl back to the starting point.
