Grünau im Almtal lies at the foot of the Totes Gebirge mountains and is a perfect starting point for mountain and climbing tours. The "Tassilo" via ferrata on the Schermberg is one of the longest via ferrata routes in Europe and is a particular attraction. For less demanding tours, there are numerous hiking trails through the Tote Gebirge that lead to alpine pastures and huts. A hike up the Kasberg, which is a popular ski resort in winter, opens up fascinating panoramic views of the surrounding mountains. If you want to find out more in advance, you can use the webcams in Grünau to get an impression of the region.
The Cumberland Wildlife Park is a particular attraction. You can marvel at wild animals such as brown bears, wolves, beavers and ibex all year round on the miles of paths in the large area. The wildlife park is also home to the Konrad Lorenz Research Center. For families, the Kinderland Schindlbach with its leisure park and fairytale forest is a popular place to play and relax.
