Long-distance hike Eagle Walk Stage 04: Kufstein - Gasthof Buchacker

City, country, river - as an interpretation of Tyrol: we leave charming Kufstein on the Inn and return to Alpine paths, including mighty panoramas and exposed locations. For example, the Adlerhorst viewing platform - a place-to-be for hikers on the Adlerweg trail with panoramic views over the Kitzbühel Alps.

Description

Route description: When you reach Unterlangkampfen, turn right, go through the underpass and follow the path into the village to the church. Above the church, follow the "Höhlensteinhaus" signpost. First follow the forest path in the direction of "Höhlensteinhaus". Soon turn right onto a cart track. The route then follows a steep path through the forest. Just before the destination, the path leads to an open alpine meadow, where the Höhlensteinhaus is located in a hollow. Immediately next to the Höhlensteinhaus, a path continues in the direction of the "Köglhörndl" (1,645 meters).

The route now runs on its very rustic and steep path through the forest in a romantic and lonely area up to the ridge and over the ridge to the Köglhörndl (1,645 meters) with the cross. The trail then leads back down into the forest. The route then descends and ascends again to the Hundsalmjoch (1,637 meters) with the modern Hundsalm cross. Now you leave the ridge and the route leads directly opposite the Hundsalm cross on a marked path down to the alpine pastures. Through mountain meadows, the route then takes a shortcut to the left over to the forest path. This is the final descent to the Buchacker Alpine inn (1,450 meters). Shortly before the end of the stage, the path to the Hundalm ice and stalactite cave branches off to the right (20 minutes' walk).

Note: Alternatively, you can skip stage 4, take the bus from Kufstein train station (Südtiroler Platz) to Angerberg Franzlerbrücke and start stage 5 from here.
