Description

The hike leads from the center of Umhausen over the snow-covered meadows towards the district of Farst, which is always in sight. Turn right before the wooden bridge and continue following the "Murbach" stream gently uphill towards Murbach, from where you then have the option to choose from three winter hiking trails to Erlach. From Erlach, follow the road back to the starting point. Soak up the sun and enjoy the winter tranquility.
