Short tour in open terrain with the impressive natural spectacle of the Grebenzen.

Depending on the season, you hike through lush flower gardens with various types of orchids and rarities of limestone flora. The mountain owes its name Grebenzen, which comes from Slavic and means Hahnenkamm, to its three mountain peaks, the highest of which is 1870 m high.
