Wipptal - Wipptaler hiking giant gold
Many hundreds of years ago, at the highest farm in the Wipptal, the Hochgeneiner Hof at 1668 meters, lived a giant-like man. Today, when the people of our valleys sit together in comfort, they still tell stories about this legendary figure. He was a giant, as strong as a bull. With giant steps and without stopping, he carried a large sack of salt from the Hall salt works up to his mountain farm.
Dear hiker, the time of giants and legendary figures is over. What has remained, however, is the mountain landscape that has produced such healthy and strong people. If you hike in the Wipptal today and climb to the summits of the mountains, you may still feel something of the elemental power of these legendary figures.
This hiking badge from the strong Hochgeneiner giant should spur you on to explore the magnificent mountain world and develop new strength in the process.
No sweat, no gain - the Golden Hiking Giant has it all. In order to reach the desired number of points, not only small hikes are enough. Here you can score points with your successfully mastered mountain tours.
You can pick up the hiking pin against proof of the required points in the office of the tourist office in Steinach.
