The trail of the senses leads around the three mountain lakes of Austria’s biggest stone pine forest. The Turracher Höhe is a 1.763 m high alpine plateau in the middle of the Nockberge. The “Turracher See”, the “Schwarzsee” and the “Grünsee” are framed by summits. This hike is especially recommended in autumn because of the view of colourful forests. An insider tip is the Alpine Art Gallery, where you have the chance to visit an exhibition of the biggest rock crystals of the world.
