Easy circular path on the top of the Schmitten. Hiking in the footsteps of an empress. Start and end is the Elisabeth chapel, which was built in memory of Empress Elisabeth. In just 30 minutes, the Schmitten summit is surrounded.
More than 120 years ago Empress Sissi walked up the Schmittenhöhe to enjoy the sunrise. On this special place you can visit the Elisabeth Chapel where you will see a photo as well as a signed picture of her. Wonderful view on the surrounding mountainlandscape on a 30min round walk.
