Schiller-Mensi bird trail
...

Without any noticeable difference in altitude, you can enjoy the wonderful tranquillity of the forest above the rooftops of Schwaz.

The Schiller-Mensi Trail offers magnificent views over the silver town of Schwaz and the Karwendel mountains opposite. In addition, several information boards along the trail provide information about the bird species that live there.
