Super beautiful valley with many waterfalls. Far away from mass tourism, at the end of the valley you can cool off in the fresh glacier stream 🥶, but beautiful. Always worth a trip, many gems found

With children, it is certainly easier to go downhill. Instead, take the hiking taxi to GH Alpenrose (0043 6643420609).

Gasthof Alpenrose in the Habachtal, what a wonderful panorama. A detour here is absolutely worthwhile.

The 2,281 meter high Zwölferkogel is easily accessible from the Karalm. The last section up to the summit cross over a ridge requires sure-footedness and a head for heights. At the top you can expect a fantastic view down to the Salzach and Habachtal valleys and to the Großvenediger.
