Die Tour
During this circular hike, you’ll get to see the Kitzbüheler mountains from another angle. En route to St. Johanner Baumooskogel, you will pass by the Kalkstein mountain, which dominates the surrounding landscape with its light-coloured rock formations.
This walk starts in St. Johann. From here, you’ll walk past a number of traditional Tyrolean farms to the foot of Baumooskogel mountain. The ascent through the forest and luscious meadows is all via easily accessible paths. For virtually the entire walk, you’ll have great views of the summit of the Wild Kaiser mountains. Once you reach the top, you can walk up the wide paths to Adlerspoint, where you can enjoy the peace, quiet and solitude of this high-altitude lodge. For your descent back into St. Johann, you’ll walk mostly on forest paths.

Today you may be walking past a few different areas where cows graze. Although generally very docile and used to walkers, keep your distance and never turn your back on a cow that is behaving strangely or aggressive. Be particularly vigilant around cows with calves.
A number of sections of this walk pass through fields containing livestock. Always look out for animals when entering a field. Keep your distance from the animals and remember to close gates after you.
Always allow plenty of time for your hike. The walking times indicated do not include breaks. Rest and photo breaks must be added to the times indicated.
Check the latest weather information and be on the lookout for changes in the weather. Storms can develop rapidly in the Alps.
