Description

From the Heiterwanger Hochalm the hike leads comfortably downhill to the village Berwang and further over the valley path (Talweg) back to Bichlbach.
After the beautiful, promising driveway by the cable car Almkopfbahn Bichlbach the hike starts at the Heiterwanger Hochalm. From there, the well-developed and marked hiking path leads downhill past the Jägerhaus to the village Berwang. Now continue into the district "Tal", past the Lähner Alm (closed) and walk always along the Talbach back to Bichlbach.

IMPORTANT NOTES:
●   Stay on the marked hiking trails
●   Keep your distance from grazing animals
●   Be aware of the mountain hut opening hours
●   Alpine emergency call: 140
