Description
The alpine hut on the Herrenalm, which dates back to the Middle Ages, is sheltered in a small basin that can only be reached on foot. As a reward, a rustic, stone-built alpine hut with a steep hipped roof awaits with drinks and a simple snack. This hike is also suitable for families with active children - fairytale forest, along streams and this alpine hut - a fantastic experience.

- Equipment Sturdy footwear
- Route description Ascent along the left bank of the Taglesbach (700m) up to the signpost "Herrenalm/Dürrenstein", then a short stretch on a forest road, again turning right into the mixed forest until a paved wide path leads somewhat steeper uphill in switchbacks. As soon as this path leads into a gorge-like narrowing, with a waterfall on the left and the rock face of the Kleinreiser Kogel on the right, it becomes especially charming. Until then, nothing else can be heard but the rustling of the stream and the rustling of the leaves under our feet. After the waterfall, you reach the alpine hut Herrenalm (1327m) and further on the Leonhardikreuz (1406m).Return by the same route through the Taglesgraben.Trail marker: path number 17
