WHERE CAN YOU DO THAT? On the Riesneralm, of course. More precisely, up to the summit cross on the Riesner Krispen. Not only your toes will feel a very special sense of freedom when you reach your first summit without shoes.
During this hike over a length of 700 m you can feel the mountain with your feet and enjoy a wonderful foot reflex massage. Spruce cones, wood chips, bark mulch, mud and earth hollows, stone types from granite slabs to torrent boulders, wood in all variations or the natural alpine pasture soil - everything is integrated. The trail leads from the HochSEEsitz in flat serpentines with a total of 19 stations directly to the summit of the Riesnerkrispen at 1,922 m.
