A leisurely winter hike across the "Aigner 3-Ländereck". A hike that not only connects districts but also brings winter joy.
Somewhat hidden from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, you stroll along leisurely in the beginning before the tour increases in altitude and leads you up the Gatschberg. Enjoy the silence of the forest on this section of the route and feel especially connected to nature here.
