This circular walk above 2,000 m s.l.m. from the mountain station of the Goldried cable car to the Adlerlounge viewpoint and down to the Kals-Matreier-Törl ridge, leads us across the meadows below the peaks of Mt. Rotenkogel and Mt. Gorner

This short circular walk is the right choice for those wanting to enjoy a fantastic view on the mountains and valleys without having to walk for hours and do a lot of physical effort. The Goldried cable car takes us from Matrei in Osttirol to the mountain station near the restaurant Goldried (2,100 m), the starting point of our hike. First of all we walk on a forest road and through alpine pastures until we reach the panoramic viewpoint Adlerlounge at the Cimaross where we admire the marvelous view on Mt. Grossglockner, Mt. Grossvenediger and Mt. Rötspitz.
The second part of our hike runs downhill on the path no. 27 to the Kals-Matreier-Törl (a refreshment area in the homonymous mountain hut on the pass), then we follow the connection path back to the mountain station of the Goldried cable car. This 5.5 km long hike is feasible in about 2 hours of pure walking time.
