Description

The hike starts at the parking lot in front of the entrance to the Walchen military training area, which is accessible by car from Wattens. Directly at the camp, turn left from the state road onto a field path (Wattentaler Zirbenweg). The path goes past the Stieralm, then into the forest. After about one kilometer, turn left and follow the path to the Außermelang alpine pastures (lower and upper pasture). The return is on the same path as the way out.
