The Saalbach riverbank is very natural, like the river in its old bed. On the right is the military training area

There are several routes to the Stoißer Alm. I drove up from Hammer. A very nice alpine pasture with a restaurant. Great views of the surrounding mountains.

This is a great place to stop for a bite to eat. The Kaiserbuche offers delicious food. In addition to the expansive and magnificent views, there are other highlights around the Kaiserbuche. The climb is worth it!

Several highlights converge here. Before you rest here, however, you should continue to the Kasierbuche (beech tree) or, if you're self-catering, take the path to the nearby observatory. There's a bench with an even greater view 🤩
