Hohe Tauern National Park Trails
Heiligenblut is an official National Park Village, providing direct access to a vast network of hiking trails within the Hohe Tauern National Park. Trails range from easy themed walks like the 'Glocknerrunde' (a circular trail around the village) to demanding multi-day alpine expeditions. Popular routes include the 'Gössnitz Waterfall Trail' (easy, ~1.5 hours, scenic views), the 'Alpe Adria Trail' which passes through the area, and various guided glacier hikes to the Pasterze. Guided tours with National Park Rangers are available, offering insights into local flora, fauna, and geology. Trail maps are readily available at the local tourist office.
