Hirnkogel

The Hirnkogel tour is a challenging tour. The ascent is rewarded with a breathtaking view of the Pölstal mountains.
Description:

On the way...With respect for wildlife and the environment!

In the Pölstal valley, particular importance is attached to the preservation of unspoilt nature. So that people's enjoyment does not become a problem for wild animals and nature, consideration is required.

For the sake of nature and the environment, correct behaviour in the mountains is the top priority for hikers.

- Use the designated car parks

- Do not block any access roads and please observe local driving bans

- Observe information boards at the starting points and stick to the recommended marked routes
