Adlerweg - Etappe 4 Variante Höhlenstein/Hundalm
The route climbs steeply through forest and open alpine meadows to the Köglhörndl (1.645 m), where a summit cross marks a fine viewpoint, then continues along the ridge to the Hundsalmjoch (1.637 m) with its modern stainless-steel cross. A short detour near the finish leads to the Hundalm Eis- und Tropfsteinhöhle — an ice and stalactite cave — just 20 minutes off the path to the Alpengasthaus Buchacker (1.380 m).

Die Tiroler Traumfabrik
A circular walk around the Thiersee lake that traces the original filming locations of postwar Austrian cinema, stopping at carved wooden sculptures, story panels, and the underground passages of "Blaubart's Burg" behind the swimming pool. The route begins and ends at the Passionsspielhaus — the village church hall that was converted into Tyrol's only film studio between 1946 and 1952.
-
Wanderweg 656 - Brünnstein
The route climbs from Oberaudorf through forest and the wild-romantic Brünntal valley to the Brünnsteinhaus, with the Hocheck along the way. The Brünnstein itself — its pale Oberrhätkalk summit described by one 19th-century alpinist as a "mächtige Felsenkrone" rising above a broad green base — rewards walkers with a celebrated view of the Kaiser massif and the chance to spot ibex, first introduced here from Switzerland in 1963.

Wanderweg 659 - Trainsjoch
The Trainsjoch sits on the border between Bavaria and Austria, its open, free-standing position making it an exceptional viewpoint — particularly toward the south into the Bavarian Alps. The route passes the Mariandlalm at around 1.200 m, an alpine hut with a sunny terrace, before the final approach steepens sharply just below the summit.
