For the hiker, the largest alpine pasture in the Gastein Valley offers a nature trail and an alpine pasture circuit with plenty of variety in a scenic and attractive environment.
To the right of the valley station of the Goldbergbahn, 1588 m, we cross the Siglitz and Naßfeld streams on two bridges and then hike along the east bank of the latter body of water and at the mountain foot southwards to a fork in the trail, 1605 m, (information board) opposite the Naßfeldalm. Here the small loop of the nature trail (our return route) continues straight ahead in the valley floor to the Moaralm, while the large loop branches off left and ascends to a scenic hillside terrace.
