Philosophenweg

The Philosophenweg (Philosopher's Path) is a leisurely walk beside the stream through the forest from Ramsau Kulm to Ramsau Ort. 
The Ramsau sunny plateau offers ideal scenic conditions for hiking at the foot of the Dachstein. The hiking trail leads pleasantly shaded along the forest. Again and again, magnificent views of chalky rock walls of the Dachstein open up. The Philosoferweg is part of the Kulmberg Rundweg and the Panoramaweg. It also offers a good connection to the Sattelberg Rundweg, Leiten Rundweg and the Hofrat-Gruber-Weg.
