Enjoying nature together
After a short summer break, Welcome Service Tirol now would like to invite you to a guided hike on the 16th of September 2023 in the beautiful Halltal in Tyrol!
The Halltal is located in the Karwendel Nature Park, which with an area of 739 km² is the largest Tyrolean nature reserve. As a special extra, we will also take along some precision binoculars from Swarovski Optik, which will allow you to observe both the geology of the distant peaks and the flora and fauna along the hiking route. After 1.5 to 2.5 hours we will reach the Alpengasthof St. Magdalena (restaurant), where we will have lunch. Afterwards we will return to the starting point.
Date: Saturday, 16th September, 2023
Time: 09:00 a.m. – 3:30 p.m.
Place: Parkplatz Halltal (parking Halltal), Halltal 16, 6067 Absam (starting point of the hike)
