Panorama round hike Zirbitzkogel

The parnoramic circular hiking trail leads from the Tonnerhütte past the vacation home settlement and on the Herterhöhe. On this beautiful vantage point there is a natur reading island. From there we get back below the tree line and walk through the forest back to the Tonnerhütte.
The panoramic circular trail seduces with wonderful views from the Herterhöhe, where there is also a viewing platform. At the stations along the way we receive fascinating information about the loacal wild.
