Tips

Hiking

Comfortable, moderately steep descent from the Hockstein and a child and dog-friendly alternative to the Wolfsschlucht. Be careful: you then have to cross the main road twice in places where visibility is difficult. The Kohlichtgraben does not carry spring water, only rain and melt water.

Hiking

Unfortunately, the Kohllichtgrund is no longer a winding path through the fir trees. The tree felling campaigns were completed so far (04/22) and it is the bypass of Hockstein and Wolfsschlucht for dog owners: inside.
