Route description
- The Hexenwasser gondola takes you from Söll up to Hochsöll, right into the Hexenwasser adventure world.
- Children can spend hours among the Hexenwasser stations: water games, little mills, witches' workshops and Austria's longest barefoot trail.
- Then follow the Riesen-ErlebnisWeg, a wide forest track with a gentle climb, to the Filzalmsee. Around it is a bog with rare plants and animals.
- Just beyond the lake is the Hochbrixen top station with the RiesenWelt adventure world. Ride down to Brixen im Thale on the lift, which the card also covers.
