One of the eye-catchers in this area: the mountain range runs almost all around and despite the high location there are midsummer days suitable for swimming

Deeply embedded in the hilly, melancholy highlands lies Lake Sünser See, like a mystery no one can explain. No shore beckoning for a swim, no jetty that becomes a postcard – only this dark mirror, round like a point of thought. You look down, and the lake looks back. A silent understanding develops between man and landscape, hard to name, but easy to feel. All around, the green spreads out like a tired cloak, crisscrossed by paths that no one hurries along. Up here, silence becomes space, and space becomes something that seems almost sacred. Those who sit down stay longer than planned. And those who leave take something with them that needs no name.

Small, very short cave, but interesting!

The Örfla Gorge is accessible from three sides. Most hikers choose the family-friendly starting point at the swimming pool in Riebe. The trail follows the placid Emmebach stream to the gorge. Another access point leads from the St. Arbogast Church up to Stählli. The trail continues along the lowland moorland near the Mitzgebach stream to the gorge entrance. Those wishing to hike the entire length of the accessible gorge can turn off at the junction with the moor towards Meschach. Source: https://goetzis.at/freizeit/ausflugsziele/oerflaschlucht/

Churches are always worth a visit. They offer travelers a place to relax and rest.

The castle complex, built from 1200 onwards, was excavated and preserved from 1960 to 1964. Today, it was in a ruinous state, but it is still excellently preserved. Various display and information panels inform visitors about the castle's history. It's only a 10-minute walk from the sports facility parking lot on Rietlestrasse.

A wonderfully quiet little mountain village, it's an ideal starting point for many hikes in the area, as it's located at just over 1,000 meters above sea level. The drive there along the small paved mountain road and through unlit tunnels and rugged natural rock faces is always a much-anticipated driving adventure for me before the actual hikes. If you'd like to stay in the area for a few days, you can check out the Kolping Village next door (www.kolping-ebnit.at).
