NPHT: Discovering the Scharrntal

Experience the side valley of the Hollersbach Valley on a guided ranger tour! Our tour begins at the Gasthof Seestube, from where we follow the regular path towards Hollersbach Valley for about one kilometer. At the junction to the stream educational path, we continue, cross the Hollersbach, and wind our way further into the high valley along serpentine paths. Depending on conditions, a small detour can be taken to enjoy a view of the Hollersbach Valley. The ranger will share interesting information along the way about the formation of the national park, the significance of alpine pastures and farming, as well as the unique features of alpine flora and fauna.
