Description

The hike starts at the tourist office in Ried. At the southern edge of the village, a paved road branches off to the left and leads gently uphill across the Langwiese, passing meadows and fields as well as a single farm. After crossing the Christiner Bach, the route continues to the hamlet of Freitzberg. From there, a forest road climbs steadily through shaded woodland to the Stafföler Alm, which is not serviced and located at the tree line. The trail then continues up to the Kruppköpfe, where you are rewarded with wide panoramic views. The return follows the same route.
Note: demanding mountain hike, very strenuous, sure-footedness required.
