The Kapelleralm near Embach is embedded in the beautiful mountain landscape of the Hohe Tauern. The rustic Alm at 1,510 meters is a popular stop for hikers and mountain bikers. The hearty Brettljause is best enjoyed with fresh buttermilk.

A nice circular hike with an excellent hut. Very good products on a wooden board and you can still feel that certain hut flair. Ideal in hot weather as you walk through the forest a lot. You can also ride your bike along a forest road.
