Eselsberger Alm Action Way

Almerlebnis in der Eselsberg Alm
The Eselsberg Alm Adventure Trail is particularly suitable for families with children and can be hiked comfortably in an hour. Anyone who wants to learn something about alpine farming then and now, about fauna and flora or about life in harmony with nature can expand their knowledge at seven stations along the way. The stations are enriched by interesting experiences at the Summstein or at the Archimedean Spiral at the water playground of the Eselsberger Bach. A worthwhile excursion where you can learn a lot about the Alpine pasture and its management.The tour is also considered a top tip in the region around the mountain personality “Lachtaler Zinken” and symbolizes one of the 19 leading offers on hiking in the Murau adventure area.
