Adventure trail Grünberg friends

A new adventure trail for children has been created on the Grünberg in Gmunden. The Grünberg friends, consisting of Ferdl Fuchs, Emil Eichhorn, Sigi Esel, Rudi Maus and Betty Bär, tell the story of the Grünberg. The Grünberg trail leads from the mountain station around the summit to the lake Laudachsee.

Interactive audio stations tell the story of the friends and provide clues to solve the riddles.

With the existing leisure activities on the mountain and the new adventure trail, the Grünberg offers the perfect setting for an all-day family excursion.
