Hiking, right from the door. And worthwhile destinations nearby.
Alpenloge sits in the four-country corner — with short distances to gorges, chapels and viewpoints. Several loops start right at the house, everything else is a short drive away.
Right at the door
Several loops from the house.
Several hiking loops of different lengths start right from Alpenloge — among them one that climbs up to Lindenau and back to Scheffau on quiet farm tracks.
For a longer walk, the route extends past the Rothenbach — with more views across the hills of the Westallgau, before it leads back to the house.
