From Schönberg, for example, you can hike or run up the Gleins Forest Animal Trail and, after a 400-meter climb, you'll be rewarded with stunning views of the Stubai Alps and the Serles.

A little further on is the Gleinserhof Alpine Inn, where you can stop for a bite to eat.

The alpine hut is approximately 15 minutes from the Koppeneck mountain station. Numerous hiking and mountain biking trails lead to the hut. It features an idyllic wooden terrace (with a children's playground) with a stunning view. Here you can enjoy Tyrolean home-style cooking. Open until the end of October, every day!

Maria Waldrast Monastery

Highlight • Religious Site

Maria Waldrast is one of the highest pilgrimage monasteries in Europe. In addition to many Tyrolean delicacies, you can get to know the special Marienbrunnen. The spring water is said to have healing and invigorating properties, so that in no time you will be at the top of the Serles.

Matreier Ochsenalm

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Modern yet cozy alpine hut with delicious and inexpensive cuisine. The sour gray cheese was a treat! The hut is highly recommended as a break, for example when hiking from/to the Serlesbahn.

June 28, 2024,Kloster Maria Waldrast – Ochsenhütte Runde von Steinach am Brenner

The tour had to be adapted a little because the cycle path to Matrei am Brenner is currently being renovated. And my actual shortcut on the route turned out to be a private path and I found myself standing in front of the locked gate and had to go over the mountain again 😅
