Over 300 km of walking and hiking paths, at heights of up to 2.309 m join the mountain range of the Kitzbühel Alps. 50 working Alms and Huts offer food and drinks, as well as a charming atmosphere along the way. The gondolas up to the Schatzberg and the Markbachjoch transport guests up to a high-alpine hikers' paradise with spectacular views along the way.
New: Explore the Wildschönau for free without a car! With the Wildschönau Card you can use the main hiking bus between Niederau-Oberau-Auffach (all year round, also on weekends and public holidays at hourly intervals) or the Roggenboden-Thierbach-Schönangeralm hiking bus.
In addition to paths through the valley, there are also walks that start directly in the village and lead to smaller mountains, as well as pushchair-friendly family walks, such as the Auenweg Niederau path alongside the stream and the circular forest trail around the Thierbach Kogl hill. Another popular activity is a trip to the wild and romantic natural Kundl gorge and the family-friendly Schönangeralm hut, which is home to Johann the "King of Cheese".

The countless songs of the Wildschönau region, which are still readily sung today in the inns and huts around the mountains, have been recorded by the Oberau Male Voice Choir and are available for you to listen to or sing along on "The Path of Songs". You can listen to the typical folk songs at ten stations along the way using a QR code. The walk starts at the Raiffeisenbank in Oberau.
