Trip description
From the Edelweiss Inn to the Saltner Plateau
From the car park of the Edelweiss Inn the trail initially climbs steeply (approx. 15% gradient). The first part is still on an asphalt road (approx. 600 m), then we turn onto hiking trail no. 1 (forest road & European long-distance hiking trail). After approx. 150 m on the forest road, we have completed the largest ascent. Soon we leave the sparse forest and reach the high plateau of the Salten with its typical meadows and alpine pastures, where, in addition to cattle, many horses are also on the move. In good weather, there is a breathtaking view from here, including the Dolomites, the Zillertal Alps, the Brenta Group, etc.
European Long Distance Trail / Hiking Trail No. 1
From now on, we always follow hiking trail no. 1 and can enjoy the view of the mountains, nature and animals at a max. 10% gradient. In some places ominous figures or other works of art can be discovered. After about 1 1/2 hours we reach the Langfenn Inn and the little church of St. Jacob behind it, dating from the 12th century.
The way back is the same as the way there.
