From the Sonnegg bridge a forest road leads uphill through the spruce high forest to the Muggenfeld (closed) and to the Maurachalm. You can shorten the way a bit by using shortcuts through the forest. Suddenly the forest begins to thin out, and alpine meadows broaden. The first alpine pasture is the Muggenfeldalm (closed), the second the Maurachalm. At the Maurachalm you will be spoiled with delicacies from their own production. The Maurachalm is the northernmost alpine pasture in the Grossarltal and is especially known for its exquisite schnapps (rowan berry or elderberry). The herdsmen often sing and make music here.
