Description

Start and finish are at the Sonnwendjochbergbahn car park in Kramsach. Follow the forest track uphill through the woods to the water trough. Turn left towards the Pletzachalm and stay on the steep trail leading up to the Herrgottstein. The track narrows from this point on and in a series of bends leads up to the turn off for the Pletzachalm (no food and drinks provided). After a further short uphill a winding track leads downhill to Grünsbach. At the Landgasthof Astner the route continues to the riding stables, over a bridge and then left onto a gravel road through woods to Winkl. Follow the road signs (L211) back to the start.
