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

From the mountain station at an altitude of 1800 m, your hike first takes you to the summit cross of the Lachenkopf. From there, you can enjoy the view of the valley and, in good weather conditions, watch the paragliders take to the air from the southern slope of the Jöchelspitze and glide high above the valley.
Walk past the mountain hay museum and continue along narrow paths and meadow slopes to the Jöchelspitze.
The 2226 m high summit is a great vantage point and invites you to take a breather. Your way back leads down the southern slope of the mountain via a very steep path, with difficult sections secured.
