Description

The hike starts in Huben, a hamlet of Längenfeld, at Mühle. Initially, you follow the forest road towards Polltal- and Breitlehnalm. Hikers can soon switch to the Ötztal High Alpine Pasture Trail. Noticeable is the fern-rich larch-pine forest. After two-thirds of the route, the path branches off towards Hahlkogelhaus. This signpost is ignored, and you continue straight to Polltalalm. After a short rest and refreshment, the path goes behind the hut across alpine rose beds, heather, and bilberry heaths to Breitlehnalm. The path between both huts invites you to pause, enjoy nature, and the magnificent view. Upon arrival at Breitlehnalm, a hiking trail leads back to Huben.
