Forstgarten Campground

Highlight • Rest Area

Nice campsite with good facilities: children's playground, campfire sites with free (!!) firewood, plenty of tables with benches, well-equipped kitchen and a vending machine. The course is practically in the middle of the forest in Gesäuse National Park and offers a wonderful panorama of the surrounding mountains. Ideal starting point for the countless activities that are offered in the area.

Haindlkar

Highlight • Gorge

Very nice view. The descent towards Gseng is quite demanding, it has to be overcome, among other things, a short via ferrata.
