The way back follows the alm road past many alm huts. Refreshments available at Haus Schönblick and the Restaurant Soderkaser near the mountain station.
Tour highlights: Find the fairytale pictures in the “Fairytale Forest” on the way uphill. Further highlights are the Red Marble Lake as the top sight at the halfway point and the alm playground at the mountain station.
The tour is part of “Hiking with Kids” in the Salzburger Saalachtal. The duration and difficulty are suitable for children/families.
