View into the Kötschach Valley

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Kötschachtal is simply a magical place in summer and winter! From this small viewpoint, located directly on the promenade, you have a great view of what will come to Prossau during the hike.

Cold air tubes on the Windschiefer educational trail

Highlight • Natural Monument

Cold air pours out of holes in a slope, cooling everything around. After rain, even "fog" forms at this point. Especially impressive on hot summer days.

In 2016, there was a very large avalanche, which has distributed abundant rock and sand in the valley. Very impressive!

Winter trail amidst untouched nature

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

This wonderful path winds to the end of the valley and directly to the Alpenhaus Prossau. The only thing that comes up here is maybe one or two sleighs.

Himmelwand Hut

Highlight • Mountain Hut

It's worth stopping off at the Himmelwandhütte just because of the heavenly strudel in the most diverse variations. Unfortunately, these creations tend to be detrimental to the character.
