The hike starts at the panorama board in the small discrit of Schanz and first leads through the hamlet. Shortly after, the path crosses the Leutascher Ache and follows the historic Franzosensteig. This old trail dates back to the Napoleonic Wars when French troops crossed the mountains here – a piece of history that has been preserved to this day.
The trail winds through the forest and gradually ascends to the Grünkopf. At the top, a wide view opens up over the surrounding mountains – a perfect spot for a short break.
The descent leads either to the Ederkanzel or directly to Leutasch. Those taking the route via the Ederkanzel follow a short section of the same path back before continuing toward Leutasch/Schanz. Finally, the tour ends back at the starting point. A varied route with beautiful forest trails, great views, and a touch of history.
By bus to Leutasch, get off at the 'Leutasch Schanz' bus stop.
All real-time connections can be found in the route planner.
