Kostale Path

A culinary-centered hike with a sporty feel.

Don't miss the glorious view at the new English Tower observation deck!

Hiking shoes, drinking water and a rain jacket.

From the gondola middle station you take path number 33 past the Hotel Alpenrose. From there you follow path number 52 further to the Pöllinger Hut. Here is where you can treat yourself to your first break and of course your first "Costal."

Costal number one is delicious Carinthian Cheese Noodles, which will help power you through the next 45-60 minute phase of the journey to the Neugarten-Almsee Hut on path number 5. At Almsee the main course will be an "Almochen Steak." With your mouth already watering at the thought of your third "Costal," a strudel specialty, you begin the the third phase of the tour: a 45 minute hike to the Gerlitzen summit on path number 3. For the return journey, most casual hikers decide to take the chairlift back to the gondola middle station.

You can easily reach the Gerlitzen gondola with the S2 train of the ÖBB- "Bahnhof Annenheim."

Please limit yourself to only one portion of each of the delicious "Costals." ;-)
