Description

The starting point of the hike is the Urisee parking lot. The route leads through the mountain forest, mostly on paths, up to the Dürrenberg Alm, which towers a good 600 meters above the nature park region in the middle of an alpine meadow. The trail leads past the pasture and up to the Koflerjoch via the path. Beware, this is a difficult mountain trail! Take the same route back to the alpine hut, where you can stop for a bite to eat and enjoy the wonderful panoramic view from the terrace. Alternatively, you can descend from the hut via the gravel road to Lake Urisee.
