This route starts at the parking lot between Nesselwängle and Rauth. Towards Nesselwängle there is an underpass to the opposite side of the street. Once there, turn left towards Rauth. First on a gravel path, past a chapel, then on asphalt you soon reach the houses in Rauth. In the village center, the signpost to the "Enziansteig" points right and upward. Through the forest, crossing the forest road, then on the slightly steeper, grass-covered slope below the Krinnenspitze, we quickly gain altitude. On the saddle, at the junction to the Gräner Ödenalpe, turn left downward. After the detour to the hut, we hike uphill to the summit of the Krinnenspitze. The Krinnenspitze is not very high, but the view makes up for the altitude gained. Via the slightly steeper Alpenrosensteig, we reach the Alpenrosenweg and continue to the Krinnenalpe. From there, it goes to the mountain station of the Krinnenalp cable car and further right to the Meranersteig. On this trail, we reach the forest road to Rauth. Now just the asphalt road we already know downhill and the short section of gravel path, then we have reached the parking lot east of Nesselwängle again.
Tip:Hearty farmer's soup at the Gräner Ödenalpe.
