A beautiful Nordic-Walking tour passing meadows and forests on the Vorberg plateau.
The path leads gently and wild romantically through the Wolfschlucht towards Ramsau-Vorberg, always with a view to the Dachstein and the Schladminger Tauern. At the high plateau we walk through meadows, forests and scattered settlements. The way back runs on an easy to moderate selected terrain and we have a wonderful view to the surrounding, impressive mountains. Via the farm way we come back again to the starting point.
