Breathe deeply, enjoy the view, and unwind - Winter hike in St. Johann in Tirol
Start the hike at the parking lot at the Bärnstetten shooting range. From here, the trail initially goes cross-country until you reach the road at the bend. From here, you can follow the signpost to the hermitage.
Following the Stations of the Cross, you reach the Maria Blut Hermitage, which has been continuously inhabited by hermits for over 300 years.
Along the trail, you'll enjoy a wonderful panorama of St. Johann and the Kitzbüheler Horn. Follow the hiking trail back down into the valley to Bärnstetten, where you started. If you'd like to stop for a bite to eat on your way back to the parking lot, we recommend the Landcafé Hinterkaiser.
Depending on the snow conditions, you can also do this tour with snowshoes.
Please always check the current local avalanche risk during your winter hike.
