In cooperation with the Tyrolean Provincial Museums, the new Timoks Entdecker-Checker Trail awaits you between the Streuböden middle station and the Wildalpgatterl. At six stations, the mascot Timok playfully reveals flora and fauna news about the alpine region and its small, exciting secrets. For example, why you should be especially kind to the cannibalistic mountain newt, how a grass frog manages to survive winter torpor despite weak lungs, and why you could also call a dragonfly a "mini dinosaur with a backward gait". At each station you can play, climb, marvel and solve a riddle. If you manage to answer all the questions correctly, you will find a solution word and thus a small reward at the mountain railway ticket office.
The digital circular hiking trail "Museum goes Wild" gets a new location and moves from the Wildalmen to the Streubödensee in Timok's Wild World.

Within the framework of this project, the basic quality in the sense of a summer mountain expected from the customer's point of view should be ensured to a minimum degree. Furthermore, the participating mountain railways should present a specific preparation and attraction that is suitable to motivate people to visit the summer mountain beyond the "basic offer". Bergbahn Pillersee was subjected to this test and was successfully awarded in the categories Panorama & Nature Experience (100%) and Art & Culture.
