Description

Description:
There are three different alpine pastures or huts along the trail. Enjoy the peace and quiet of nature with a tasty snack, hearty home cooking or coffee and cake.Directions:
The tour starts at the paid parking lot at Haldensee. This can also be easily reached with the hiking bus. The trail leads us in the direction of Edenbachalpe/Strindenalpe through the Strindental valley with a view of the crystal-clear, green-blue shimmering Haldensee. First we reach the Edenbachalpe, behind the alpine pasture a path leads us further along the Saalfelder Höhenweg towards the upper Strindenalpe. Once there, the descent runs towards Usseralpe. On the forest path you can take a leisurely descent - take a look at the Urfall (waterfall) - and continue via the hamlets of Schmieden/Bogen to Tannheim. Or you can walk from the Usseralpe to the top station at Neunerköpfle and from there take the cable car down to the valley. (Last descent 16:15 hrs)Tip:
From the Usseralpe, one of the few alpine cheese dairies, it is also possible to continue hiking in the direction of Neunerköpfle and choose the descent with the 8-seater gondola from the top station.Safety guidelines:
