Abstieg Hinterwildalpen Eisenerzer HöhePhoto: Christian Scheucher, Tourismusverband Wildalpen
For centuries, this mule track was used to transport charcoal to iron ore and goods from iron ore to Wildalpen, and certainly also for smuggling. You can still see the furrows in the rock, which were cut to prevent carts from straying from the path; transport traces from times long past. A natural journey back in time.
Author’s recommendation
