Feels like Sound of Music
This hike leads us to the summit of the highest mountain of the Gutenstein Alps, the Reisalpe (1.399 m). From our starting point at the plateau, it is only 1,5-2 hours to reach the summit. On top of the mountain, we enjoy a spectacular 360 degree panoramic view. After a well-deserved break at the lodge, we will make our way back to the starting point. The landscape is very beautiful with regional wild flowers, butterflies, mighty old trees and pastures.

What's included in Feels like Sound of Music
(Subject to Option Inclusions)This is a pleasant 3-hour hike to the summit of Reisalpe (1.400 m/4.600 ft), the highest mountain of the Gutenstein Alps. It is especially recommended in spring and autumn. In the beginning, the trail runs evenly along a forest road, after a while it gets pretty steep, which makes reaching the peak even more rewarding. It is a lovely and diversified tour with real countryside feeling in the Austrian Pre-Alps. Depending on the season, rare alpine wild flowers can be discovered along the trail. We pass by charming mountain huts, pastures, mighty old trees and cows. The highlight of this tour is an amazing 360 degree angle view from the summit, where we make a well-deserved break at the mountain lodge (optional) before heading back to the starting point. I recommend this tour to anyone who would like to try an easy mountain hike in the foothills of the Austrian Alps. Duration: 3h. Length: 9km/6mi. Highest point: 1.383m. Elevation gain/loss: 421m.
