Beautiful alpine path for experienced hikers

Unfortunately, there is no possibility to stop for refreshments during the hike. The trail leads you first along a forest path with some stream crossings to the Simabauerhütte.

Keep your eyes open, you might find a local mushroom or some chanterelles. Would you like to try them? We will gladly prepare them for you at Lercher's Restaurant for a small fee. They are best when they are fresh and especially when you pick them yourself.

Hidden in the forest you walk past the Simabauerkreuz, a small chapel. Another small climb and you have almost made it. Nestled in the idyllic landscape, the Hauserersee lake lies before you. Cuff your pants up and go for a round of kneipping. Playing with the cool water will really refresh you. Use your binoculars to watch the chamois at the top of the ridge. After a leisurely picnic in the sun, make your way to the Hausererhütte. The descent is again via a well-marked forest road to your car.

The best period for this tour is from May to July - depending on the weather.
