The actual dream loop is more of a loop with 6.7km. I added the Grimburg, then my planned lap would have been 7.5 km. But since the gate at the Grimburger Hof was locked, it was almost 9. That's why I got gossip wet towards the end of the round 😳. The castle is really great, I'm glad I included …

The Almglück dream loop is very beautiful. To extend the walk a bit, and because we really wanted to go there, we made a detour to Grimburg 🏰. It was definitely worth it, even though the kiosk was unfortunately closed. Instead, we stopped for a rest at the Hochwaldalm Wadrill. A beautiful spot with a very friendly host and a …

But since a hiking friend would like to hike with me, I postponed it to Monday and was looking for an alternative for today.
The Almglück Traumschleife has been on my list …

Getting there = hiking day on the Almglück dream loop.
The loop is actually 6.7 km long, but after about 2.5 km there was a sign saying 0.7 km to Grimburg. You couldn't just ignore that and the detour to the castle was included. All I can say is that it was totally worth it. To have the great castle …
