    Easy and family-friendly walk mostly on a forest road with a beautiful view of the village of Gams, the Gesäuse Mountains, and the Eisenerz Alps. This is also a nice winter hike (forest road is cleared). Depending on snow conditions, the route can also be continued from Akogelbauer to the Akogel Viewpoint.

    Author’s recommendation

    Other sights worth seeing nearby: Kraushöhle (gypsum crystal cave), GeoTrail, GeoWorkshop, and GeoRama.

    Refreshments available at the Parkbadbeisl (pool buffet) during the summer months at the starting point of the hike.

    Roadbook

    From the parking lot of the GeoWorkshop, walk leisurely up the forest road and after about 1 hour you reach the Akogelbauernalm (not managed). Then continue along the road and after the first left bend, turn right after about 50 m onto a path (signposted). On a forest trail, after about 3/4 hour you reach a farm road. Here, keep right and follow the signpost "To the View" or "Akogel View". Once arrived, a table and a bench invite you to comfortably enjoy this wonderful view of the village of Gams, the Gesäuse Mountains, and the Eisenerz Alps.
