Map, elevation profile & further information
The trail begins with a leisurely descent through the Spitalgraben. Over small bridges and along clear streams, the path meanders through an idyllic section of forest that exudes a fairytale atmosphere. A gentle but steady ascent then leads along the Saurücken towards Mitterberg. At the highest point of the tour, at 821 meters, a fantastic view of the picturesque surroundings of Gröbming opens up. From here, the trail follows the Mitterberg road and finally leads through the village back to the starting point. The mixture of shady forests, passages with views and varied sections of trail make this tour a special nature experience.
