Description

From the Sennhof car park (next to the information), you walk over the wooden bridge, past the fire station on the left, slightly uphill and then straight ahead to the district of Höfle. From there, you head right slightly uphill to the district of Bichl, at the curve you can take a look at the panorama board and enjoy the first view. At the top, another magnificent panoramic view opens up. The last part then leads up to the "Platte" with a view of Umhausen. The easy hike is also very suitable for families with strollers/buggies.
