The journey is its own reward!

Hochkrimml is a small town in the community of Krimml and is located in the Gerlosplatte alpine pasture and skiing area, at 1640 metres above sea-level.
Centrally situated guest houses offer excellent hospitality. Hiking trails start from right outside their front doors, leading from Hochkrimml up onto the surrounding alpine pastures and mountains:
to Krimml's panoramic viewpoint mountain, the Plattenkogel, the lovely Samalpe, the Gletscherblickalm and the Leitenkamersteig, or into the sensational Wildgerlostal and to the Durlassboden Reservoir. Romantic alpine pastures and alpine inns offer good-quality local rest stops and the Zittauer Hütte mountain cabin sits sublimely on the Wildgerlossee lake at the foot of the Reichenspitz mountains.
