Emerging wilderness on the north side of the highest national park mountain
This wilderness tour leads to the most beautiful spots around the mountain Großer Rachel. The narrow and stony trails on the northern side of the mountain are a dream for lovers of pristine nature. The tour is completed by an excursion to the drinking water reservoir Frauenau, Rachelwiese (former mountain pasture) and, of course, to the Rachel summit.
