In addition to the newly established water theme trail on the way from Spital am Pyhrn to the valley station for the funicular railway, the Wurzeralm meadow nature reserve and the idyllic Brunnsteiner See lake, this stage also offers a thoroughly high-altitude character over the Toter Mann and possibly also the Warscheneck mountains, where you are guaranteed an outstanding panoramic view.

    Es gibt eine Spitalkarte, dann kostet der Bus und die Seilbahn nichts. Der bus fährt auch am Wochenende.

    There is a hospital card, then does the bus and the cable car nothing. The bus runs on weekends.
