Innerkrems: Nockalm Road and themed trails

When looking for a hotel in Innerkrems, you can first consider what you are interested in for your trip. The Carinthian Nockalm Road and the themed trails in Innerkrems offer different points of focus: landscapes and nature, mining history, and the experiences of Austrian ski stars. The high ropes course descriptions also provide specific information about courses, measurements, and instruction by trainers. The differences below can help you choose a travel theme that suits your interests.

Nockalm Road: landscapes and nature

The Carinthian Nockalm Road runs for 34 kilometres between Innerkrems and Ebene Reichenau and is open seasonally. Bear this seasonal restriction in mind when including the road in your travel plans.

The road offers views of rounded green peaks, expansive alpine pastures, flower-filled meadows, and extensive spruce, larch, and Swiss stone pine forests. Visitors can enjoy numerous nature experiences and free exhibitions along the Nockalm Road. The exhibitions focus on prehistoric forces, the diverse plant and animal life, and the history of how this Carinthian attraction was formed. They complement the scenery with themes relating to nature and its origins.

Themed trails on mining and skiing history

The “Water and Miners’ Trail” in Innerkrems takes children and parents to six mine tunnels. They are reminders of the region’s former iron ore mining. The trail brings mining history to life through tangible traces of past mining activity.

Along the “Trail of Ski Legends,” information points explain how great Austrian ski stars experienced this area, which was so important to them. The focus here is on the athletes’ experiences in the region. The trail is in Innerkrems and is easy to walk in both summer and winter. Seasonal conditions can affect walking; take the conditions on the trail into account when planning your visit.

The two trails differ in their focus: the Water and Miners’ Trail leads to traces of iron ore mining, while the Trail of Ski Legends highlights the experiences of ski stars. You can choose between a theme rooted in regional work and one about the history of skiing.

High ropes courses and their measurements

The Kärnten high ropes park features a flying fox course with two mega flying fox rides, each 300 metres long. It also has more than 65 climbing stations across various courses and difficulty levels, at heights ranging from 2 to 27 metres.

The figures describe different measurements: 300 metres is the length of each flying fox ride, while the range of 2 to 27 metres refers to the height of the climbing stations. This makes it easy to distinguish between length and height when comparing the figures.

The Nockberge high ropes course in Innerkrems is an adventure park for the whole family. Trained instructors guide visitors. The park’s description therefore includes both its family-friendly focus and guidance from instructors.

The course layout may change, and operating details may vary seasonally. Check the latest information before your visit.
