The Asitz Panorama Trail
The Asitz Panorama Trail is one of the most popular hikes in Leogang, perfect for families and leisure hikers. The route circles the 1,752-meter-high Asitz and offers spectacular views of the Leoganger Steinberge, the Saalfelden Basin, and, on clear days, even the Berchtesgaden Alps. The trail is well-maintained and suitable for less experienced hikers.
The starting point is the Asitzbahn mountain station, easily accessible by gondola, making this hike ideal as a half-day tour. Along the trail, there are numerous rest areas and mountain huts where you can pause and enjoy regional specialties.

Birnhorntour (2.634 m)

The total duration is approximately 6 to 7 hours, with an elevation gain of around 1,600 meters.
