Equipment

Good equipment is essential for your hike. The following items should definitely be in your rucksack: - Food and drink - Functional clothing for rain, wind and cold - A change of clothes - Sun protection - First aid kit - Mobile phone with a full battery (Euro emergency number 112) - Hiking map or GPS - Hiking poles Nevertheless, the following applies: light luggage is also easier to carry, so you should not weigh down your rucksack with unnecessary ballast. In addition, your hiking equipment should of course also be adapted to your particular hiking tour.

Description

Hike over the Gufelbrücke bridge up to the last houses, now your hiking trail leads towards Jochbachtal, at the first signpost turn left towards Kanzberg. Follow the initially steep, later beautifully laid out mountain path up to the Kanzberg with its great views. Continue past the Kanzberg hut to the Hornbachjoch, where you might spot ibex. Now you take a steep path over several hairpin bends down into the Jochbach valley, walk along the foot of the Jochbach stream to the Jochbach huts and then over the bridge back to the starting point. You have the option of stopping off at two inns in Hinterhornbach.
