The great naturalist adventure in Gemsteltal — family hikes in Austria’s Kleinwalsertal

A beautiful little valley! The circular route is normally strenuous and easy to manage even for inexperienced hikers! 👍

A beautiful hike that is suitable for families as well as for fur noses. The tour starts at the bus stop "Gemse" from where the tour leads a few meters along the street and then crosses it. The path to the hut can be walked on both sides. While the one to the left of the wooden bridge is a little less steep, but longer, but the views are more beautiful, the path to the right of the bridge is a little shorter but steadily uphill. After approx. 2.8km you will pass the Schönebode Alpe on the left-hand side. Looking further ahead, you can see the Hintere Gemstelhütte. To get to the side of Bernhard's Gemstelhütte, continue along the path and cross the wooden bridge. Then there is a last little uphill stretch, then Bernhard's Gemstelhütte is already in front of you. Here you sit wonderfully in the sun, children can romp outside and when it gets too cool, a cozy hut lounge entices you to sit inside.

Unfortunately, that's all I can do. 🙄 I wonder when things will slowly get better or when I'll make a breakthrough towards health. 😔😷🤧

Oh you beautiful Kleinwalsertal. Splendid. Along the Breitach through the Gemsteltal to Alpe Schönsboden. Delicious fresh warm ham from the smoke oven, plus fresh buttermilk. What more do you want. There are a total of 4 Alps to choose from on this circular route.

Pleasure hike with many huts along the way at the end of our weekend in the Walsertal. Just a great area

Beautiful tour. Delicious snacks at the alpine pasture. Friendly hospitality. On the way back, the route was once again not properly recorded. Just imagine the straight line disappearing.

Finally - like every year, back to the Alps. Almost like coming home. Today I'm putting on my shoes and going for a little walk while the weather is still nice. I'll let myself be surprised by what else there is to discover.

Nice way to walk in or out before/after a long tour. Lovely valley and on the alp you will be rewarded with a delicious, homemade fruit buttermilk or fruit quark.
