Description

From the Karlift car park, take the dirt road next to the main road to Heiterwang into the district of Ennet der Ach (near Haus Pechhüttl), cross the road there and walk to the edge of the forest. Here the Mühlwaldrundwanderweg begins. The first part of the circular walk is constantly ascending. After 40 minutes walking time there is a junction, keep left. Beautiful views of the Reuttener valley basin, the Lechtal and in fine weather as far as the Allgäu. Downhill to the village part Ennet der Ach. On same way back to the Karlift car park.
