Equipment

Good equipment is essential for your hike. The following items should definitely be in your rucksack: - Food and drink - Functional clothing for rain, wind and cold - A change of clothes - Sun protection - First aid kit - Mobile phone with a full battery (Euro emergency number 112) - Hiking map or GPS - Hiking poles Nevertheless, the following applies: light luggage is also easier to carry, so you should not weigh down your rucksack with unnecessary ballast. In addition, your hiking equipment should of course also be adapted to your particular hiking tour.

Description

Your hike takes you on a sunny south-facing slope from the mountain village of Bschlabs past species-rich meadows and protected larch pastures through a mixed mountain forest to the Brandkopf (1,715 m). In the past, the hay from the high mountain meadows was temporarily stored in barns, some of which are still preserved. This special resting place invites you to take a break. On the way back, you will discover another small cultural asset of the municipality, the Gleck, an alpine pasture where cattle still graze today. Your path then leads you back via the hamlet of Egg with its original, beautiful wooden houses, some of which are over 300 years old, to the starting point of the hike at the village square.
