Description

At the bus stop at Hotel Weiler there is a 1 km tarmac country lane down to Mühlboden. From here proceed on a gravel trail, climbing slightly through Dorfertal, whereby flat and somewhat steeper passages alternate. In Pfaffenboden we head to the fork in the right and bear right, continuing across the bridge and arrive at Lake Klapfsee. From here the route continues in a few switchbacks up to Porzehütte (1942 m), just before this, in steeper serpentine bends up to Tilliacher Joch.
