Destination
Turn-by-turn directions
At the stations, for example, the exciting legend of the witch of the Gerlosstein is told, you learn what the stone sheep has to do with the Zillertal Doggln and it becomes clear what great importance music has always had for the longest Tyrolean side valley. Many interactive elements make the trail exciting for children as well and so even the youngest mountain enthusiasts can manage the approx. one-hour hike with ease. Tip: Play the world-famous Christmas carol "Silent Night, Holy Night" with the bells or turn the horn of the stone sheep and see what happens! At the end of the alpine pasture promenade, you will be rewarded with a fantastic view of the surrounding mountains from the alpine grandstand, the box seat above the Zillertal.

Good and reasonable footwear
Backpack (approx. 15-20l)
Enough provisions: drinks, preferably water in refillable drinking bottles, at least one meal and snacks like energy bars for in between, think also of a small plastic bag for waste!
Proper hiking clothing: avoid sweating too much and hypothermia, pack a light change of clothes if necessary, a jacket should never be missing and possibly rain gear (pay attention to weather forecast!)
Sun protection: sunscreen, sunglasses and headgear.
Cell phone (charged!) with emergency app, ID card, possibly alpine club ID and cash for the huts
