34 kilometres of impressive nature
The Nockberge offer a mystical and beautiful nature experience in any season. From mid-June, the alpenrose blossom transforms the biosphere reserve into a grandiose play of colour. In summer and in autumn the habitat of the authentic Speick plant invites you to enjoy extensive hikes on a well-signposted network of trails. Here and there, nature has been coupled with some additional features, such as the "Silva Magica", where visitors can follow the trail of natural beings, or the "Elements Trail" for awakening new energies.
