Hotel & Restaurant Knappenhof

Traditional house at the foot of the Rax

For over 100 years, the Knappenhof has been a place to stop for hiking enthusiasts, writers and nature lovers. Its location makes it the ideal starting point for tours in high alpine terrain as well as for quiet walks in the forest. The Rax Areal Ropeway has been in operation for around 100 years for those who don't fancy a strenuous climb. This makes it the oldest passenger cable car in Austria and takes guests from the valley to the mountain.

Editors' favourite trail:
Törlweg Hirschwang-Ottohaus
This is a high altitude trail in the truest sense of the word. The route is challenging and there are many metres in altitude to climb. You will be rewarded with marvellous views and a rest stop at the Ottohaus.
