The trip is about 17 kilometers long, and here you can enjoy the beautiful view of the Alpine landscape and visit Room numbers natural monuments. Lamprechthöhle is among Europe's largest caves, and it is said that a treasure should have been hidden somewhere in the cave.

Wagrain-Kleinarl - collect on mountain tops in the fun way
If there is to be some competition in the jokes, go to the Salzburger Sportwelt in Wagrain-Kleinarl. Here you can 'gather' on hilltops when you hike up to the top of the 7 peaks, which go under the common name 'The Gracious Queen and her six Nobles'.
Legend has it that the queen was very concerned that humans, animals and plants should live in harmony, and this harmony is so noticeable when you walk in the area. At the same time as you collect stamps from the hilltops, you will become wiser in the wisdom possessed by the gracious queen. There is therefore something good to take home for both the legs and the head.
You decide the pace and order of your mountaineering yourself, so there is no need to fear the hardships.
