Sonnenrundweg

Relaxation and enjoyment are, so to speak, included in the hiking tours in Mittersill. The best example of this is the approx. 6 km long circular Sonnenrundweg, which gives you a particularly beautiful, unforgettable view of the city. From the hotel you go into the city to the Volksbank, from where you take hiking trail 71A towards Unterwimm. After a seamless transition to hiking trail 63, turn left towards Rettenbach. On clear, sunny days, the panoramic view of Mittersill and the Hohe Tauern is particularly beautiful. You get back to the hotel via Achleiten.

Via the Trudental you can take hiking trail 917 to the Naßfeld, cross the Tauernbach and after 2.5-3 hours you will reach the Plattachsee.

The viewing path now becomes a little steeper and leads to the topmost waterfall level. At the various viewing platforms you can enjoy the panoramic view of the roaring water.
