Ebnit Village

Highlight • Settlement

The route by car is adventurous and in places extremely narrow and goes through rock galleries. If you want to get to Ebnit without stress, you can take public transport. Limited parking is available at the church.

September 3, 2024,Hohe Kugel – Emser Hütte Runde von Hopfreben
Today we really wanted to know! After an exciting drive along a narrow winding road, which got us in the mood for what was to come, we reached a parking lot at an altitude of 1140 meters. Our hike started from here - and it quickly became clear that a real challenge awaited us.

A really nice tour. The outward journey alone has its charm. Narrow, winding route with great tunnels.
The path and the view at the top are also great.
