Description

From Alkus (Oberalkus 1284m), follow a forest trail up to Potschepol at 2272m. From there, now take the path which proceeds east. After a climb via a trench you come to terrain which features a small pond in front of Alkusersee. Another short climb takes you to the lake. Once you get to Alkuser See you can see the Peace Cross, over from the lake. By then you will really have earned a break and can enjoy the superb panoramic views provided by the Schober group.
