Hiking with all your senses ...
This is one of the most beautiful hiking paths. It connects the town center of St. Martin with Lammertal village, offers beautiful views from the Schoberberg of Gosaukamm gorge (scenic path) and allows you to discover many different natural jewels in this idyllic paradise.
From the Mountain Maple natural monument to the Haranger High Moor, which dates back to the Ice Age and is home to rare plants and orchids, then continuing to the Fir Bush natural monument (8 tree trunks that resemble a bush) and finally to Lammertal Virgin Forest, with the tallest trees in Austria. In Lammertal, we also recommend a tour taking you past the source of the River Lammer and the Lammertal Fish Ponds, or perhaps all the way back to the beautiful Aualm area at the valley head.
Marvelous, historical tour (No. 73) from the imperial monument and throne at Genusswirt Gasthof zur Post, with a Maria Theresia concession, where once even the Habsburg imperial family partook of refreshments,
to the imperial monument at the Burgeggpalfen, with the most beautiful scenic view – including an imperial throne – overlooking the village of St. Martin.
Hike around the source of the River Lammer in beautiful Lammertal, flanked by the imposing Tennengebirge and Hochschober mountains, with Lammertal Virgin Forest and the tallest trees in Austria.
Along the way, you will also come across the manmade Lammertal Fish Ponds, fed with purest mountain spring water, where you can also fish & grill as well as purchase top-quality trout.
This tour can also be extended with a hike to the picturesquely beautiful Lammertal valley head, the so-called Aualm area. We recommend starting out from the scenic lookout point next to Berghof Wildau, affording some of the most beautiful panoramic views of Lammertal, the Tennengbirge and Gosaukamm!
JOLLY themed trail – Discover the world of agriculture!
The JOLLY themed trail invites young and old alike to discover the diverse world of agriculture in a playful way. Along picturesque hiking trails through the beautiful mountain landscape, a total of 13 interactive stations offer exciting insights into life on the farm – from cows and chickens to bees and sheep to horses and goats.
At each station, you will find an interesting question about animals, plants or rural life. For example, learn how long cows are pregnant, how much wool a sheep produces or how bees work.
The stations are divided into two routes (1–7 and 8–13), but can also be explored in combination. Anyone who answers all the questions and takes a photo at their favourite station will receive a small JOLLY gift – to be collected from the tourist office or, at weekends, from the Berghotel Lämmerhof.
Highlights of the themed trail:
-
Informative stations about animals, plants and farm work
-
Varied questions and puzzles for children
-
Playful learning in nature
-
Reward for diligent explorers
Tip: Ideal for family hikes, school classes or groups – and perfect for combining nature and agriculture in an entertaining way.
