Winter hike Pürglitzrunde

Above the rooftops of Irdning, this winter hike invites you to enjoy a magnificent view of the Grimming and exercise in nature.

On this rather easy hiking trail you can take a "forest bath" in summer as well as in winter and really take a deep breath and recharge your batteries. There is also history to explore along the way, because there is a detour to the "Pürglitzschanze", a fortified building from the time around 1800. An information board on site tells you about the exciting past of this place.

Along this hike you will find the Natur.Kraft.Platz. ‘Pürglitz’. You can find more information about this at www.schladming-dachstein.at/naturkraftplaetze
