Start at the Restaurant Jägerwirt inn, heading along a gentle hiking trail (no. 826) across Alpine meadows at the foot of the Wilder Kaiser on your way up to the Wegscheid-Hochalm Alpine pasture. Located at an elevation of 1,381 metres, this does not feature any establishments that serve food. Having packed a snack in advance, you can now enjoy it in the Alpine meadow while savouring the wonderful view over the summits of the Scheffauer, Hackenköpfe, Wiesberg, Kopfkraxe and Sonneck. Far away to the east, you can even see the base of the Treffauer mountain. Even though this walk does not lead to a refreshment stop, mountain walkers young and old can enjoy the day by laying between the mountain flowers and cows in the meadow. You can also take a dip in one of the “Gumpen”, as the natural bathing pools are known. You might even be able to spot a few chamois on the surrounding rock faces of the Wilder Kaiser. Head back downhill via the forest road and along the Wegscheidbach stream to return to the starting point at the Jägerwirt.
What to look out for along the way:
Enjoy snacks that you have packed in advance – no refreshment stops available.
