The tour
At the beginning in uphill turns, past old-established farms, the path finally leads you through the forest and across white meadows back into the valley. Grandiose views are guaranteed and the rest at a small hay barn (almost at the end of the hike) is a small and fine source of strength.

Turn-by-turn directions
From the parking lot you cross the road and walk along the marked trail over several hairpin bends uphill towards Erlsberg. At the fork in the road after the farm "Moar in der Gassn", turn right to the Krapflhof farm. Continuing along the road, you will again pass two farms. Keep to the markings, then you can't miss the turnoff to the right. On a field path straight ahead to a piece of forest, turn right again at the fork. From then on, the trail leads you through the forest and across snow-covered meadows back to the village and along the sidewalk back to the starting point.
Way number: 3

Equipment
- Plan your trip in advance, taking into account walking time, distance, elevation gain, hazards, and weather reports.
- Let others know where you are going and when you want to be back.
- Turn back in good time if the weather deteriorates. If you are caught in a thunderstorm, stay away from free-standing trees and wait out the storm, crouching if possible.
- Stay on marked trails and remember to close pasture fences.
- If you are a dog owner: Clarify before the hike if you need to cross a pasture. Keep your dog on a leash and make sure it stays calm. If a cow attacks, let the dog off the leash immediately. Never pick him up to defend him.
