Sonnwiesen loop trail
The adventure route is suitable for the whole family. From the Schwaigerhütte, it is a half-hour walk to the Alexanderhütte. Here, nature lovers and panorama hikers can enjoy a unique view of Lake Millstatt. Excellent hut cuisine is provided by products from the organic dairy of Alexanderalm. Tip: Dairy tours at Alexanderhütte. The route continues to the Millstätter Hütte. On this half-hour section, you will encounter numerous water sources and a water-spouting "Nockdragon." At the Millstätter Hütte, a petting zoo and a playground await the little hikers. From the Millstätter Hütte, it is another 30 minutes back to the Schwaigerhütte.
Connections: From the Alexander Hütte via the Millstätter Hütte runs the "Path of Love. Sentiero dell’amore" on the same trail and leads another five kilometers past the Millstätter Hütte to the Granattor. Already on the way from Alexanderhütte to Millstätter Hütte, you pass the first two spots on the Path of Love. Summit enthusiasts won’t have far to go from Millstätter Hütte to the summit of Kamplnock (approx. 230 meters elevation).
Family tip: The entire hiking trail is stroller accessible. Due to the small elevation difference (about 250 meters between the lowest and highest point), the trail is particularly well suited for families with small children.
