About
A 130-km journey through the Nock Mountains. Eight stages, 6,415 metres of elevation gain, and yet, the terrain is gentle, welcoming beginners.
Start at Katschberg, where the scent of pine needles mingles with fresh alpine air. Traverse picturesque waypoints like Turracher Höhe and Bad Kleinkirchheim, pausing by tranquil lakes and rounded hilltops.
This isn’t just a hike; it's a modern self-discovery through lush meadows and geological . Year-round accessibility means clarity awaits, whether in the spring blooms or autumn hues.
Finish in Seebach, but the journey lingers.
