Russbach

The Hornbahn in Russbach takes you easily and straightforwardly up to 1450 metres altitude on the Hornspitz, where you'll find numerous hiking trails suitable for both children and adults. On the hiking trails you can admire the mountain panorama, Dachstein glacier, Gosaukamm ridge and Tennengebirge mountain range.

The yellow Ameisenexpress takes you through gently undulating Alpine terrain to Edtalmhütte, where you can re-energise with a traditional Austrian meal. There are plenty of hiking adventures for the kids and playgrounds in Bruno's mountain world. Emma, the giant ant, always looks forward to visitors. The alpine garden hides many treasures, while the swing forest and Bruno's giant slide invite children to have fun. Adults, meanwhile, can relax at the cosy panorama lounges or enjoy coffee and cake on the sun terrace.

The mountain railway Russbach, also called "Hornbahn" by the locals, is located in the centre of the Dachstein West hiking region in Tennengau. The station is just a 6-minute walk from Russbach town centre and makes the ascent to the Hornspitz a breeze. It's a great place to start for hikers or if you just want to go for a walk.
