From there, the moderately ascending “Old Fendels Path” leads you through shady woodland up to Fendels.Once you arrive in the charming mountain village, walk through the village until you reach the parish church of Maria Himmelfahrt. After passing the church, the route continues to the left along a paved road towards Burgschrofen.At Burgschrofen, located north of Fendels, you will find the impressive water reservoir, which regulates the water supply to the Kaunertal power plant.
