Winter is coming to an end and spring is on its way. We are happy to see the first fresh green and the colorful flowers that are now stretching their heads towards the warming sun. It may still be a while before the forest floor is dry and the wonderful hiking trails of our uniquely beautiful region invite you to discover nature again. Nevertheless, we at Hotel Bergland Söll, your holiday apartment in Söll, would like to ring in the hiking season with our recommendation of the wild and romantic circular hike “Through the Rehbachklamm gorge to the Hinterschießling Alm”!

Hiking tip – Rehbachklamm gorge

Good to know

We start with some important information about this hike:

• Plan 2 to 2.5 hours for your mountain experience, because
• The entire route is about 7 kilometers long.
• 280 meters of altitude have to be overcome and
• the highest point of the circular hike is at 1.20 m above sea level.
• Anyone who would like more information about this hike can find it on the detailed description of the Wilder Kaiser region

Let’s go for fun

Our hike starts in Scheffau, our neighboring village. You can get there by hiking bus or by car – parking is available behind the Scheffau parish church in the center of the village. After a few minutes uphill along the road, you will find the entrance to the small Rehbach gorge on your right.

Now the hike can begin

Now follow the Rehbach stream along the forest path. The path offers a variety of charming natural motifs – take your time to discover and enjoy the beauty of nature: cross the stream with its charming bridges and footbridges, listen to the rippling water of the small waterfalls, watch the play of light and shadow as the wind softly blows through the woods. The different shades of green of the fresh leaves of the plants will fill you with new strength and energy.
Once you have reached the upper part of the gorge, the tour becomes a little more challenging: a steep climb now leads to the end of the gorge. On your way, discover the mining tunnel from the 16th century.

The ascent is done!

Once you have conquered the gorge, you are now faced with a vast alpine landscape! The impressive mountain backdrop of the Wilder Kaiser massif is reflected in the small pond. Let your gaze wander over the blooming meadows and the fascinating mountain peaks and follow the gently ascending path to the “Hinterschießlingalm” mountain hut, situated at around 1,000 m above sea level.

The well-deserved break

The “Hinterschießlingalm” awaits you with specialties from the region, some of which come from our own production! Our tip: try the homemade cake – it’s delicious! And if you like it savory, you can also sample special culinary specialties here: the “Hinterschießlingalm” breeds Angus cattle, so you’ll find Angus ham and Angus salami on the menu! The “Hinterschießlingalm” is open to guests from Tuesday to Sunday from 10:30 am to 6 pm.

And now back to the valley:

Strengthened with regional delicacies and with renewed energy, you finally make your way back. Take the same route back to the edge of the forest via the pastures of the alp. Here you will come to a gravel path leading into the valley. Follow the path through the forest – consciously enjoy the peace and quiet and the wonderful forest air! Your next point of reference is the “Jägerwirt”. Follow the road here and you will soon reach the village center of Scheffau!

We at Hotel Bergland, Appartement Söll, hope that we were able to awaken the wanderlust in you!

We can give you one piece of good advice for this varied excursion into nature: Don’t forget your camera or smartphone! You will find numerous wonderful photo opportunities on your hiking route! Take these impressions home with you and enjoy your vacation experiences again and again!
