the highest point on the Schrina Alpine and Cultural Trail, directly in front of the Churfirsten. Here you can see marmots and chamois. The alpine hut and the surrounding area with the large boulders that are rolled down between the mountains at some point give a very original impression. Here you can no longer hear the noise of civilisation from the valley. When clouds pass through above, the mysticism is enhanced.
