Grossarl: Gerstreitalm - Saukarkopf - Saukarkopf
The way "Hertas Rast" through the forest starts directly in the village center of Grossarl. 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.
