From the Devil's Bridge to the mountaineering Village
Description
On the traces of the Tuxertal valleys mining history.
From the Teufelsbrücke (Devil's Bridge), a legendary wooden footbridge over the deeply cut Tuxbachklamm gorge, we hike past the Dornauhof farm and turn onto a secluded hiking trail. It leads us mostly through light-flooded forests towards Ginzling. Shortly before the Karlsteg we descend to the Zemmbach and reach Karlsteg inn via the tunnel portal. From there we continue along a narrow path into the valley. Again and again we can marvel at the colorful flowers below us and the high peaks of the Zillertal main ridge above us. After the Gamsgrube, we take a leisurely walk across the Schrahnbach stream to the Lengauhof farm, where we will have reached the northern part of the mountaineering village. A suspension bridge over the Zemmbach stream leads us to the nature park house in a few minutes.
