You have to find the treasure of the Nock dwarves! Adventure fun for the whole family with children aged 4 and over. In ancient times, the Nock dwarves lived in the thunder gorge in the caves of the mountains. The dwarves secretly helped the humans with their hard work. The dwarves were also known to guard the most valuable and greatest treasures. The squires believed that the dwarves hid a golden treasure in the cave. To find the valuable “Treasure of the Thunder Gorge” you have to solve the tricky puzzles with your treasure hunting equipment. Good luck.

Dwarf donkeys, giant donkeys, miniature donkeys, pinto donkeys… and that’s not all the animals! Ponies, llamas, goats, rabbits, ducks, geese, chickens, warmblood horses and ornamental poultry live here together on the donkey farm! Open from April to September.
- KÖLNBREINSPERRE: The highest dam wall in Austria. The 14.4-kilometre Malta Hochalmstraße leads directly to the Kölnbreinstausee reservoir at almost 2,000 m above sea level. Tunnels carved out of the rock and several hairpin bends make the road an experience. Once you reach the mountain, you have a wonderful view and a great mountain panorama from the “Airwalk” viewing platform. As part of a guided tour, you can marvel at the dam wall from the inside and learn everything you need to know about this magnificent structure. For hikers, the area offers wonderful hiking routes, e.g. the national park circular hike “Zauberhafte Elendtäler”, Hochalmspitze, Ankogel, Hafner (the Maltatal is surrounded by numerous three-thousand-metre peaks).
