On this hike, framed by an impressive mountain backdrop, we can experience different aquatic habitats up close: from the still water of the Koppenwinkellacke, which completely disappears during extended droughts, through smaller streams, to the mountain river Koppentraun, one of Austria's best grayling waters. Along the path, there are many seating options up to the Koppenwinkel Alm, making this section of the trail very suitable for people with mobility impairments. After that, resting opportunities become somewhat scarcer. The route features several steeper ascents and descents, so strong companions with appropriate footwear are essential for wheelchair users. Only the first part of the route up to the Koppenwinkel hut is manageable for less trained people. Binoculars, rain protection, and warm clothing should actually be taken on all hikes. Carrying provisions on this route is not absolutely necessary because the Koppenwinkel Alm is operated during the summer.
