Gerler Round from the Nechnitz
Open
Via the
wood sculpture trail up to the Gschaid-Nock and on to the Gerler cross: a varied hiking trail with a summit climb and refreshment stops.
Woodcarving with a chainsaw is the hobby of Erich Haider-Harrer, who is also an innkeeper and farmer on the Nechnitz, the high plateau in the municipality of Fladnitz an der Teichalm. With his wooden figures, mainly native forest animals, he has now created a wonderful path from the Nechnitz up almost to the Gschaid Nock summit.
The path starts directly at the Haider Inn. Over 45 different wooden figures, benches, an energy fountain and explanatory panels accompany the 1.5 km long path up to the summit. A wonderful all-round view awaits you there. With the help of the large display board, the mountains can be easily identified. The further trail, now already over alpine pastures, leads beyond the Wildkogel to the Gerler cross. There the Gerlerkogelhütte awaits hungry and thirsty hikers.
The way back then leads past the Gerlerkreuz and the district of Hintereben with its farms back to the Nechnitz.
