Jause, Brotzeit, Marende - three names for alpine, culinary pleasure! On the way up, the anticipation of the break with a snack is the best motivation.

In the Hochwald Jausenstation, really delicious things are served - for example tasty alpine products in form of a traditional Brettljause. The all-day warm meal kitchen provides you among other things with homemade sausages or Kaiserschmarren.

You hike from the Giggijochbahn valley station to the hamlet of Hainbach and continue via the so-called Kreuzweg to Leite. From Leite you continue to hike on the path to Granstein.

When you arrive in Granstein, follow along the wide forest road to the Hochwald Jausenstation.
