Tour information

From the village centre, walk along Speckbacherstraße in the direction of Oberndorf. At the Fixlerkapelle chapel in Apfeldorf, turn left to take the path up to the Alpine pastures. At the end of the residential road, the hiking trail branches off to the right. The path winds its way up through the romantic snow-covered winter forest and repeatedly offers beautiful views of St. Johann in Tirol and the Wilder Kaiser. The tour finally ends at the Alpengasthof Hirschberg, where you have really earned a break.
You can either return via the same route or via the tarmac road.
