High up on the Isskogel
The trail to the Isskogel is more than just a hike; it is a journey of discovery through the heart of the Alps. Past babbling brooks and lush Alpine meadows, the route takes you to unique vantage points. Let the Isskogel cable car take you to heights where the world seems to lie beneath you. Your feet will carry you up the last 300 metres in altitude from the mountain station. The great thing about hiking on the mountain is that you are always rewarded with great views from the top.
Pure joie de vivre at the Durlaßboden reservoir in Gerlos
Follow the call of the Durlaßboden reservoir, a glittering blue jewel surrounded by lush meadows and noble mountains. The loop trail around the lake is mostly flat and suitable for all levels. A hike here is like an embrace of nature that revitalises your soul. As you circle the lake, you can keep an eye out for a comfortable place to stop for a bite to eat. You can round off your hike with some fun on a pedalo or stand-up paddle, for example. The Durlaßboden reservoir is a great source of summer activities.
Mysterious valleys
Discover the hidden treasures of the Zillertal valleys: Schönachtal, Krummbachtal, Wimmertal and Schwarzwachtal. Each valley promises a unique adventure:
When you look out of the windows of the Fräulein Nannerl, you are looking directly at our wonderful home valley, the Schönachtal. It captivates with its colourful Alpine pastures and crystal-clear mountain lakes - a paradise for anyone who appreciates pure mountain air and unspoilt nature.
Lush meadows and wild, romantic streams await you in the Krummbach valley, ideal for a refreshing hike off the beaten track. The Wimmertal invites you along its quiet trails that meander through lush Alpine meadows, where the silence is only interrupted by the gentle ringing of cowbells. In the Schwarzwachtal valley, you will find deep tranquillity under the shade of old trees, a perfect place for extended contemplation in nature.
Krimml Waterfalls
Visit the Krimml Waterfalls, one of the most spectacular natural wonders in the Zillertal. Here, the water plunges down in thundering cascades and offers a breathtaking spectacle. The trail along the largest waterfalls in Europe allows you to experience this natural phenomenon up close, while the fine water mist provides a welcome refreshment.
Fräulein Nannerl’s insider tip: Once you reach the top of the waterfalls, the beautiful Krimml Achental valley opens up before you.
