Scenic hike from the Aualm over the Lichtensteinkopf to the Schuhflicker. 2214m
The hike starts directly from the Aualm at 1800 meters. From here it goes over the beautifully laid out hiking trail towards the Lichtensteinkopf. 20 minutes further awaits the weather cross Aukopf, which commemorates men fallen in the World War. Afterwards, the path leads to the Schuhflicker, which is one of two limestone mountains in the Großarltal. According to legend, two shoe repairers were petrified here because they preferred to go on the mountain on a Sunday, rather than spending Sunday morning in church (that is why the Schuhflicker also has two peaks). At the summit, there is a sensational view over the Gastein valley, Großarl valley, and Salzach valley. At the foot of the Schuhflicker, the Schuhflicker lake can also be seen. A hiking trail leads down there as well. On hot hiking days, it is recommended to cool off in the lake. On the way back, you then return on the right side to the Aualm. When you arrive at the hut, homemade specialties await you that you should definitely try.
