Gollinghütte chalet and Gollingwinkel in Steinriesental valley

The route leads through the Steinriesental valley - often along the course of the stream - on a family-friendly and varied hike to the Gollinghütte and the ‘place of the gods’ Gollingwinkel.

Gollinghütte chalet and Gollingwinkel are 2 hiking destinations that can be reached relatively easy. Situated at the foot of the impressive North face of Hochgolling, Gollingwinkel is a cirque similar to an amphitheatre. The trail ascends moderately through the Steinriesental valley - if you look up to the right and left, you know where it got its name.
