The Hartkaiser (1550) is framed here by Ellmiś magic world. Atmospheric embedded in the alpine landscape of the Hartkaiser, adults and families discover the myth of the Tyrolean mountains. Numerous imaginatively designed hands-on stations made of wood tell of life in harmony with nature.

On the south bank the path climbs a little and offers wonderful views of the turquoise blue water of the crystal clear mountain lake. The north shore of the lake is accessible to everyone thanks to a driveway.
