Forest under the Gaisberg: Security is going - hiking trail closed!

In the past few months, violent snow and storm has severely damaged the forest on the Gaisberg, which has led to a large amount of damaged wood. According to the Austrian Federal Forest, it is now being worked out under high pressure to eliminate the damaged wood as quickly as possible. Erwin Stampfer emphasizes from the Federal Forests that safety precautions are necessary, so that the circular hiking trail must be closed during this work. In addition to the deforestation, the focus is also on the rejuvenation of the forest to ensure a sustainable and vital forest structure, as Rudolf Rosenstatter, the chairman of the Salzburg Forest Association, explained. The clean -up work should be completed by April 17, so that the hikers can soon enjoy the circular hiking trail on Gaisberg, reports ORF Salzburg .

beautiful view and popular hike

The Gaisberg round hiking trail is known for its picturesque views of Salzburg and its relatively simple accessibility. If the hike on the Zistelalm starts and ends, the hikers have two options in which direction they want to start. With a period of around 1.45 hours, this path is particularly popular with locals who often visit it after work. The well-designed path leads through forest areas and over wooden walkway, with a 360 ° view of the surrounding lake country and the Dachstein Mountains rewarded. Brave hikers can continue to the Gaisbergspitze, where the view is even more magnificent. There are also tips for the excursion on Bergfex where the necessary equipment is particularly pointed out.
