**Waldness in the Almtal is mountain hiking with a new experiential touch.**

Mountain hiking with an alert eye for nature in the forest and for the nature of the forest gives satisfaction, serenity, joy and happiness. Leisurely hiking and walking in the Almtal improves well-being through the air-cure effect of the forest.

For mountain hikers and climbers, the variety of paths and routes on offer through mixed forests and woodlands, from the gentle valley entrance near Pettenbach up to the mountain pines (Legföhren) of the high mountains, is an enjoyable choice. The paths are always well marked. High up, majestic views and the beauty of a bright limestone mountain range await.

Depending on the training and desired intensity, the mountain hiker chooses his own pace or walks in challenging stages, alone, in a group or has a forestness coach guide him and explain the forest nature at the same time.
