Description

The Virgentaler Sonnseitenweg is, as the name suggests, made for sun worshippers. There is hardly any other long-distance hiking trail that can guarantee you as much sunshine as this one. As part of the hike, you'll roam through several valleys of the Nationalpark Hohe Tauern Osttirol, among which is the sunny village of Virgen.

With its many hours of sunshine, the picturesque village rightly bears this euphonious epithet.

In addition to the warming rays of sunshine that make your cheeks glow, you will also be accompanied on your hike by fresh forest air and pleasant meadow scents.

Water also has a special meaning on the Virgentaler Sonnseitenweg: refreshing mountain streams as well as the thundering waterfalls at the end of the tour bring out the advantages of this element.
