Hiking tour to the Saukarkopf - from here you have a picturesque view. You get delicacies on the Saukaralm and the Gerstreitalm.

The way "Hertas Rast" through the forest starts directly in the village center of Grossarl. This way got its name because the name of the wife of tourism pioneers in Grossarl were Herta and Grete. Therefore the way was named after Herta. There is also a hiking path which is called Gretchen Ruhe. After the forest you hike on alpine meadows to the Gerstreitalm. You hike up further to the Röschenbergalm (closed) and further to the Saukaralm. There the view and the panorama are really awesome. You can see the Hohe Tauern, the Hochkönig and the Tennen- and Hagengebirge. From here you hike up to the Saukarkopf. And maybe you cannot believe it, but the view is even more awesome then from the Saukaralm.

As an alternatie to the trail there is the via ferrata "Bella Cascinaia" to the Saukarkopf.

After you have reached the summit of the Saukarkopf you can taste delicacies on the Saukaralm or on the Gerstreitalm - or on both.

Author’s recommendation

Sehr schöne Tour . Wir sind vom Dorf über die Saukaralm und Kopf zur Gerstreitalm gegangen in der es super leckeren Kuchen gab.

Although it was raining, the trek was nice and for the night we have stayed at Gerstreitalm. Vey nice and welcoming people. I really loved their local production and the taste was great. I enjoyed a lot. Thanks and hope to come back another time...
