Hiking and walking trails from Hart

Start out from Gasthof Hamberg (Niederhart) along the road to Fügen -
turn right before the Ziller bridge - the road then follows the Ziller river as
far as Gasthof Neuhäusl. The return journey is the same as far as the turning
- from there follow the sign on the left to Niederhart-Oberhart and you will
return to Gasthof Hamberg.
Low and High waterfall, Time: Hart - Waterfall - Hart, approx. 1 1/2 hour
Turn right just behind the Gasthof Hamberg (Niederhart) - cross a small
bridge, then turn immediately to the left and continue along the asphalt road
to Helfenstein-Haselbach. Turn left before the Ziller bridge and continue as
far as the Restaurant Almdiele - turn to the left along a gravel track as far as
the High Waterfall.
A second way of walking to the waterfalls is via a route to Oberhart as far as
the parish church, then turn right and follow the road to the playground. Turn
right here and walk along the Bird Trail (at short intervals you can read the
many information panels about the native birds) - past the Small Waterfall to
the Large Waterfall. (approx. 1 1/2 hours). For the return journey you can take
the well-marked Bird Trail.
St Mary‘s Chapel - Stations of the Rosary (Rosenkranzweg)
Time: Niederhart - St Mary‘s Chapel - Niederhart approx. 2 hours
Turn left at Gasthof Hamberg in Niederhart and continue along the road to

a hiking trail leads off through the woods along the Stations of the Rosary to
St Mary‘s Chapel.
Säulingerhof, Time: Niederhart - Säulingerhof - Hart, approx. 3 hours
Walk from Niederhart (Gasthof Hamberg) following the route to St Mary‘s
Chapel. From here walk - bearing left - for about 25 minutes - along the
asphalt road to Gasthof Säulingerhof. The route back along the high-altitude
road is very beautiful - head towards Steinerhof, but before the Steinerhof
turn to the right and head south towards Hart. Another option: Leave Gasthof
Säulingerhof and head towards Bruck am Ziller – at the Rumerhof sign turn to
the left and then, through meadows and woods, you will come to Oberhart and
the parish church. Yet another possible route would be to go as far as Bruck
am Ziller - turn left there and then follow the Ziller river via Gasthof Neuhäusl
