Beautiful in every season. Unfortunately, Böckfeldalm has been abandoned for a long time.

The hut was closed during my hike. It wasn't until I reached Böckstein that I saw a sign indicating whether the hut was open or closed.

There are two themed trails that begin here. The shorter route takes about 1.5 hours, and the longer route takes about an hour longer. The shorter route is also suitable for older people or families with small children. Please note, however, that you will often have to pass through herds of cows.
