The tour

The Sattelberg is the perfect excursion mountain for a nature experience with the family. The first Austrian nature and environmental adventure trail is not only exciting and interesting for children, parents and grandparents will also be amazed and learn a lot. The educational trail also leads to the Sattelberg summit via a circular route and has even more to offer: the Ramsaurier Zwergerl farm (with display and game boards in toddler size) is a play paradise for the youngest and is located right next to the Sattelberg hut. In addition to the large forest playhouse and the "Little Ramsau Water World", the hike along the Ramsau nature and environmental adventure trail also includes three real children's and youth via ferratas, which can be completed as part of the Ramsau via ferrata certificate. Part of the trail is also accessible with a stroller.

Turn-by-turn directions
Kali's nature and environmental adventure trail takes you on a circular route over the summit of the Sattelberg in around 3 hours. From stations 1 to 3, the trail alternates between hilly and flat forest terrain with several clearings. From station 3, you hike uphill on the upper part of the northern flank of the Sattelberg. But don't worry, between stations 5 and 6 you can recharge your batteries on flat terrain to be fit for the ascent to station 7, the Sattelberg summit. In just under 70 minutes, you will hike along a path full of views and experiences, past berries, flowers, rock towers, bizarre rock formations and much more.

From the summit, the trail then winds its way through the forest to station 11 and down to the cone pavilion and viewing tower. From there, the trail continues through the forest over tree roots, clearings and high grass to station 14 at the Sattelberghütte. Slightly ascending forest terrain and a flat run finally end the exciting circular trail back to the starting point.
